Hi there, can you please tell me the best way to get from Hong Kong to Shenzhen airport? I am traveling with an older person so is better to walk less. Thanks!

Ms.Lucy(China) replied:
At the Kowloon metro station, you could take the bus to reach Shenzhen Airport directly. I think you could refer to this page: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/guangdong/shenzhen/airport-shuttle-hongkong.htm

hello, i would like to know if there are any buses going from the shenzhen airport to kong kong directly AT NIGHT? we arrive at 23.45 in shenzhen. or trains? either would do good.. thank you!
Nov. 4,2009 22:28
Mr.Andrew replied:
No bus and no trains at that time as it is too late. Use airport Bus 330 to Hualian Building (Hualian Dasha), then take a taxi to Huanggang Border. You can take red taxi from Shenzhen Airport to Huanggang Border directly (about half a hour). Pass the border, there are night bus route over the other side of the custom in Hong Kong.

Hi, can anyone advise me the faster way to Shatin in New Territories from SZ airport? I understand that there are many shuttle buses into HK but they would bring me past NT direct to Kowloon and I would have to spend time taking the rail up to NT again. Thanks.

Take shuttle bus from Shenzhen airport to Shenzhen Railway Station (Lu Wo), use train to Sha Tin directly.

Hi I will be travelling from Hong Kong to Shenzhen in December (staying at Best Western Felicity) and then leaving from Shenzhen Bao An airport. May I know what are the ways I can get from the hotel to the airport, and the duration/cost?
Thanks!

Mr.Leo replied:
From this hotel, you could take a cab to to the Hualian Mansion located in Shennan Middle Road firstly. The fare is just around the flag-down rate. Here, you could catch the airport shuttle bus Line 1(330)to reach Shenzhen Airport in 40 minutes.

Could you please leave your flight No.? As I know, the international flights will arrive at Arrival Hall D.

Ms.jean(singapore) replied:
Leo, the flight no. is TR 952. March 2009 I flew
from Shenzhen to Singapore & I took a taxi from Dongmen and I remember the airport was very small.
Cannot rememeber Terminal No. because taxi driver
cannot find the way and phone his company to ask.
Where is the taxi stand after we come out from
immigration ? Thanks

Mr.Leo replied:
Your flight will arrive and depart at Terminal D of Shenzhen Airport, namely the International Terminal. Just out of the arrival hall, you will find the taxi parking lot.

Mr.Jerry replied:
It takes about 30-40 minutes from Shenzhen airport to Luohu and the fare is about 150 yuan. Shuttle bus is still available at that time. You can use K568 and Bus 330 to Luohu. It saves a lot of money.

Hello! anybody who could tell me what bus number I should take from Baoan to Dongmen. I want to know the bus that goes directly to dongmen. Thanks...

Mr.Jerry replied:
Hi, sir. I am afraid there is no direct bus from Baoan Aitport (I guess you mean the airport) to Dongmen. You should take Airport Bus 330 to Hualian Dasha and then change to Bus 113 to Dongmen. Or K568 from the airport to Shenzhen Railway Station and then change to subway to Dongmen.
