I can go there by train

I wrote the following sentence. Is it natural?

One of my friend asked how I can go to HongKong and I said I can go there by train or fly there.

If you had checked your sentence before and after posting you'd have seen a mistake in the first four words.

Hong Kong is two words.

Is it good now?

There's no need for the second "there".

That "me" is not necessary; it's optional.

by train or flight

No; "by flight" would be unnatural.

May I ask how you would phrase this sentence?

That final version is okay.

I can go there by train
