Both of these two building are located along the Shennan Dadao, not far from Shenzhen Railway Station. Departing from Shenzhen Airport, please take the shuttle bus Line 1 (330), which stops at the Investment Building and the Hualian Dasha respectively.

Hi. I will be visiting Shenzhen and my flight back via Boan airport is at 11.15 am. Since I need to check in 2 hours before flight time, when should I leave for the airport from the city? Is there airport bus from the city? What is their timing? There will be only 2 person travelling. Where should I stay in order to be near the bus terminal? Any hotel recomendation for shenzhen? New hotels that is conveniently located and not too expensive?
What are the "must see" and "must do" in Shenzhen? Any tips for "must eat"?
Lastly is there any members living in Shenzhen that I can contact?
Thank you.

It is suggested that you look for a hotel in Luohu District, close to Shenzhen Railway Station. Just at the Hualian Dasha, located in walking-distance to the railway station, you could take the shuttle bus Line 1(330)to arrive in Shenzhen Airport in 45 minutes.

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.

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.

My family using Tiger Air from Singapore and flight land at 23.05. Pls let me know

8 adults and our hotel is at Dongmen. We have requested for hotel pick-up but worried
they forgot. Appreciate if reliable taxi company's phone no. is available too.

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

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

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.
