Our son will be arriving in Shenzhen July 9 and needs to get to the JW Marriott in Shenzhen. What is the best way to get there and the approximate fare?
Jul. 2,2009 22:30
Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:
The cheapest way is to take the Bus No.327 from Bao'an Airport to Shennan Xiangmi Overpass bus stop. The bus ticket is around CNY7. The JW Marriott is close to this bus stop.
The best way is to take a taxi. It can take you to get to the hotel direcly. But the cost is around CNY100.

Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:
To avoid the obstacles of languages, here I give you some Chinese notes. You may copy it and ask the locals to help you.
Shennan Xiangmi Overpass = 深南香蜜立交
JW Marriot in Shenzhen = 深圳万豪酒店
This hotel is located on the Shennan Road (Shennan Dadao, 深南大道in Chinese)
Hope it helps.

Dear Ms. Evelyn,
Thank you for your prompt response. I will forward this on to our son who is currently in Guangzhou for a tennis tournament. He does speak the language, but he admits it's a little rusty and your suggestions will help him tremendously.
Thank you

So pls guide how to reach shenzhen or gunzhou airport from hong kong airport.... ( i do not want to travel in train)

Mr.Alan replied:
There are two choices for you:
1. Take the ferry at 13:30 from HK Airport to Shenzhen Airport directly (295HK$). And then catch the flight CZ3833 (21:10~23:20)from Shenzhen to Wenzhou:)
2. Take the HK airport bus to Guangzhou downtown area directly (HK 20). Please get off at China Hotel, Guangzhou. Since you have 4 luggage, it is suggested that you hire a taxi to the airport (about 100RMB). Then, you could catch the flight to Wenzhou of FM9534 (18:50~20:20) or CZ6302 (19:05~20:35).

My wife and I will be arriving in Shenzhen from Chengdu on Friday, Aug. 7, at 1755. We will be staying in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong. What would you suggest as being the best way to get there?
Jun. 27,2009 21:56
Mr.John replied:
I recommend direct shuttle bus. You can get the bus info at B04, A08 counters of the Arrival Hall. The bus rus to Kowloon MTR station. The ticket fare is 90-100 HKD. This is the fatest way.

Thanks very much to Ms.Evelyn's(China) reply and clarification on Jun. 24,2009.
Yes, I understand now that there are direct buses from Luohu to Kaiping & Changping. But from the airport, there are buses to Changping only and I can connect to Kaiping from there too. Thanks also for explaining the relationships for the towns. It certainly helps.

Ms.lam(Singapore) said:
Thanks very much to Ms.Evelyn(China) who replied on Jun. 23,2009 to my query to Kaiping.
I noticed that you mentioned taking a long distance bus from Luohu to Changping. Does it mean that there is no direct bus to Kaiping from Luohu at all? And I've to connect at Changping (常平)and is this town just north of Shenzhen? And thanks again for your help.
Jun. 24,2009 01:43
Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:
You are welcome. First, I want to distinguish Changping from Kaiping. Changping is in Dongguan. Kaiping City is administered by Guangzhou and Shuikou is a town in Kaiping.
Both Shenzhen airport and Luohu Bus Station (near the Luohu Railway Station) have the buses to go to Changping, Dongguan. Additionally, there are trains from Luohu Railway Station to Changping Station (also called Dongguan Station).
In my last reply, I mean there are no direct airport buses from Shenzhen airport to Kaiping in Guangzhou.You can take the airport bus 330 at the Shenzhen airport to Luohu Railway Station. Near the railway station, you can find the Luohu Bus Station. This bus station provides the buses to Kaiping. After arriving at Kaiping, trasnfer to the Kaiping BUs Station to take a bus to Shuikou.
Ps: Luohu is a district of Shenzhen. It can be regarded as a town. The Luohu Railway Station is also called Shenzhen Railway Station.
If you still have some quetions, please write back.

Is it true that there is no longer a ferry from either Kowloon Ocean Terminal or Hong Kong side Macau Ferry Terminal to Shenzhen Airport Fuyang Terminal?

I haven't heard of that. The SkyPier in Hong Kong airport and the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal both provide ships to Shenzhen Fuyong Ferry Terminal.

Hi, I plan to travel from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport to Kaiping-Shuikou, a village about 2 hours from Guangzhou. Can someone tell me whether there are long-distance buses from the airport to take there or where & how to get to a long-distance bus station in Shenzhen. Thanks.
Jun. 23,2009 04:40
Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:
There are no direct buses from Shenzhen airport to Kaiping. You may take the airport bus 330 to reach the Luohu Railway Station. Then, take the long-distance bus there to Kaiping. The bus cost is about 90 yuan. The buses leave there every 60 minutes. Afer you arrive at Changping, just take a bus at Changping BUs Station to Shuikou Town.
I guess the bus from Shenzhen Luohu Railway Station would finally get to Changping BUs Station. If it doesn't go there directly, please don't worry. In Changping City, the public buses 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 13 can take you to the bus station.

Mr.Hank replied:
Hi, since the last ferry from HK Airport to Shenzhen Airport would be left at 19:30, you have to take a bus to Shenzhen downtown area and then transfer to the airport. Well, the last bus from HK airport to Shenzhen leaves at 22:25 and via the Huanggang Port.
Or, you should take a taxi from HK Airport to reach Huanggang Custom Port (open in 24 hours), passing through the port, take a local taxi to the airport (about 150RMB)

Hi, the the Skypier in Hong Kong Airport supplies ferries to Fuyong Port of Shenzhen Airport. So, when you arrive at HK, please transfer to the ferry leaving for Shenzhen Airport at 13:30 or 15:00. The journey is just 45 minutes, so that you could catch your next flight in time~ The ferry fare is HK 95 per person~ Good luck~
