Can anyone tell me the actual location or nearer train station around Hua Lian Da Sha. I cannot get the place for the Map. Thanks

Ms.Sophie replied:
The Hualian Dasha is one of the landmarks of Shenzhen located along the Shennan Zhong Lu(深南中路). It is also called Bell Tower, since there is a large bell on its top. Just at the foot of the buidling, it is the Kexueguan station of Shenzhen subway Line 1, the terminal of which is Shenzhen Railway Station.
I found a map here: http://www.maps-of-china.net/city/shenzhenm.htm
the names are somewhat different: Hua Lian Da Sha->Hualian Mansion Shenzhen Railway Station->Shenzhen Station

Hello!
My sister and I are traveling to Shenzhen by airplain and we are staying at Metropark Hotel Shenzhen
2088 Dongmen Road C Luohu District.
After a stay in Shenzhen we are traveling to Hong Kong Disney World.
What is the most easy and cheap way to get to the hotel from the airport?
And how do we travel to Disney World?

Ms.SISLEY(China) replied:
A little confused! I guess you would like to Hong Kong Disneyland from downtown Shenzhen, not airport? Please make sure it!
Nov. 18,2009 03:29
Ms.Kine(Norway) replied:
Yes. I'm sorry for my confusing english...
Nov. 18,2009 19:49
Ms.SISLEY(China) replied:
Since your hotel is located in Luohu District, so please go through the Luohu Port to enter into Hong Kong. Then, please take the metro to Disneyland. You could search the itineray and fare in details at http://www.mtr.com.hk/jplanner/eng/planner_index.php
For a much convenient way, you could take a cab from the hotel, Shenzhen to arrive at Huanggang Port firstly. Just at this port, you could take the direct bus to the Disneyland from 09:00 to 12:00 everyday. The journey is about 50 minutes and costs HKD80.

How far is this place from airport. How much must I pay on taxi to get there and is there public bus at this hour. Your reply will by much appreciated.

Mr.FFRANKIE(Afghanistan) replied:
No need to take a cab at the airport. Well, please refer to my answer to Mr. Rich below. The Tian Zhi Yu Hotel is just located to the south of the Leizhen Hotel. So, you could use the same way to get there as what I told to Mr. Rick.
This is a 3-star rated hotel opened in 2008, having good location surrounded by shopping area and business center.

Mr.FFRANKIE(Afghanistan) replied:
When you arrive at Shenzhen Airport, please take the shuttle bus Line 1（330）to get to Hua Lian Da Sha (华联大厦). The hotel is located about 1.5kilometers away from the bus stop, so please hire a cab driving you there. The journey is no more than one hour.
Yes, you could take your luggages. Please take it easy that the bus has enough space for lefting luggages.

I will stay at the Marco Polo in Shenzhen this February. I am trying to decide whether to fly into Hong Kong or Shenzhen. If I arrive in Hong Kong, can I take a taxi or hire a car to drive me to the Marco Polo? (I don't care for bus travel.) How long of a drive would that be, and where would I cross the border? Many thanks!
Nov. 18,2009 00:36
Ms.SISLEY(China) replied:
It is suggested that you fly to Shenzhen Airport, from where you could reach the hotel in 30 minutes by cab.
If you arrive in Hong Kong, you could take the SKYLIMO from Hong Kong Airport to get to the Hotel directly. You could know the details and book a van in advance at http://www.trans-island.com.hk/eng/index.html

My flight landed time in Shenzhen is at 1105pm after clearance and collecting my laguage I will be out around 11.30pm. Do there still buses to shenzhen town. How much taxi fare must I pay to Fu An Road ChaoHai Hotel.
Nov. 15,2009 01:59
Mr.Sandy replied:
It is about 130RMB from the airport to your hotel (red taxi), a bit cheaper to choose green taxi. You can still take airport bus 330 at that time. Get off halfway at Investment Building (Tou Zi Da Sha), then take a taxi to you hotel (about 3km).

which are transport (Bus , train or ferry)available between Shenzhen to Macau. My priority is shortest travel time, best cheapest price. What would be my best option?
Nov. 11,2009 03:38
Mr.Frankie replied:
Currently, the ferry departing from Shekou Port of Shenzhen could reach Macau in one hour with a fare of CNY170/adult. You could get the details at http://www.szgky.com/en/amferry.asp
For a cheaper one, you could take a bus from Shenzhen Luohu Bus Station (not far from the hotel) to Zhuhai Qiguan Bus Station in 3 hours with a fare of about 70RMB. And then, you could go through the Gongbei Port to enter into Macau.

from Days Inn Shenzhen Hotel to Shekou Port,
Which is the transport and i have 6person
Nov. 15,2009 01:44
Mr.Jerry replied:
It is about 100RMB by taxi from the hotel (in Luohu, right?) to Shekou and you need two taxis. If you do not have much lugguage, you can consider to take city bus. Use the taxi to Jianshe Road (not far away) to find Bus K203 which can take you to Shekou. The city bus costs 5RMB.

Nov. 14,2009 21:37
Mr.Sandy replied:
No direct airport bus to the hotel. You can take airport bus 330 to Huanlian Dasha. Then take taxi to your hotel (about 13RMB). Guangzhou is about 2 hours from Shenzhen by bus and one hour by buttle train. For the hotel is next to Shenzhen Railway Station, you can get there to take bullet train to Guangzhou.
