This is my first time transiting between Guangzhou and Hong Kong and I want to detail my experience here. Overall, it is a seamless transfer and clear directions are provided.
From Guangzhou airport, take the metro train to Guangzhou East railway station. The metro starts at 06:10am daily and the trip takes ~30 minutes.
After alighting, there are directional signs pointing to the Guangzhou-Kowloon train. There are several frequencies daily on this route. The earliest train departs Guangzhou at 08:19.
The bus took ~70 minutes to reach the airport. In time to check in for my 2pm flight.
Yup, this is my first time doing this transfer and it works out great ! There are clear signs along the way so I don't get lost at any point in the transfer.

The long distance trains operate from a separate building. The Guangzhou-Kowloon line check-in area is on level 4. There are plenty of seats at the waiting area.
Once the door opens, there is the china immigration for departure formalities. After that, proceed to another waiting area again with plenty of seats. There are limited shops selling food and drinks here, so best to get it after exiting the metro station.
Once the door opens, proceed down via an escalator to the waiting train.
This's the train !
The scenery along the journey is not exactly great, mainly buildings or fences.
Once the train reaches Hong Kong Hung Hom station, exit the train and proceed to Hong Kong immigration for arrival formalities.
At Hung Hom station, there are several ways to get to Hong Kong airport. I followed the signs to the bus terminus to board the city flyer double decker bus direct to airport.
The bus has comfortable seating and recline and a great headrest !
There is a large TV on both decks to monitor luggage movements.
