At the Kowloon train station of HK, you could take the bus driving to Shenzhen Airport directly. You have to accept the customs check for two times but at one place on the way. You could purchase the bus tickets when you arrive there since there are frequent buses supplied here. Here is the details for your reference: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/guangdong/shenzhen/airport-shuttle-hongkong.htm

What are the ways of traveling from Macau to 福田区, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China?
Nov. 7,2009 03:28
Mr.Shan replied:
At Macau Ferry Terminal, you could take a ferry to arrive in Shenzhen Shekou Port in Nanshan District in one hour. Then, you could take a taxi to your destination in 30 minutes. Of course, the taxi should be expensive~
For a cheap one, you could go to Zhuhai Gongbei Port from Macau firstly, and then take a bus here to arrive at Shenzhen Luohu District in 3 hours. Finally, take the subway or cab to get to Futian quickly. A long time journey~

Mr.Hank replied:
Hi Mr. Poti, please refer to my answer to Mrs. Dally below. Both of you have the same questions.

If I want to go from Fuzhou to HK air port which transportation I can use? Can I use Ferry?
Oct. 29,2009 21:17
Mr.Leo replied:
Is it the Fuzhou City of Fujian Province? As I know, the distance from Fuzhou to HK is over 1000km, so you have to take a flight from Fuzhou to HK Airport directly. Or, you could fly to Shenzhen firstly and then transfer to HK Airport.

Hi,
I would like to know where should I take the shuttle bus from Shenzhen to HongKong. How to get there (the cheapest way) from Shenzhen train station? About how much should I prepare (from the train station to the shuttle bus station)?
Thanks in advance.
Oct. 29,2009 03:29
Mr.Hank replied:
Do you mean the transportation from Shenzhen Railway Station to Hong Kong? If so, no need to take any bus. The Shenzhen Railway Station is just located at the Luohu Port, which is one of entrances to Hong Kong. Go through the customs of the port on foot, you will arrive in HK at once. Then, you could take the metro to arrive in downtown area of HK.

Oct. 19,2009 22:37
Mr.Leo replied:
The fastest way from downtown Hong Kong to Shenzhen is using the MTR, which could take you from Hung Hom to Lowu Port quickly. Well, if you use MTR, you have to take the Lowu Port. BTW, which part of Shenzhen are you going to visit?
Oct. 20,2009 05:09
Ms.Mary(Philippines) replied:
Thanks, was pertaining to MTR, sorry about that.
We're just looking into checking out the usual tourist spots like Splendid China and Window of the World. So, it needs to be Lowu?
Oct. 23,2009 01:51
Mr.Leo replied:
Of course,please take the MTR to Luohu. Then, at the Luohu Port of Shenzhen, you could use the subway to get to the Splendid China and Window of the World directly.

I am flying into Shenzhen and then directly going into Hong Kong. No need to go to the Hong Kong Airport. I also will be arriving in the daytime so I can choose from the metro, buses, or ferries. My priority is shortest travel time, not cheapest price. What would be my best option?
Oct. 19,2009 22:30
Mr.Leo replied:
Please use the coach departing from Shenzhen Airport to Kowloon MTR station, Hong Kong directly. The journey is about 70 minutes and takes 90RMB.
