How to Travel from Hong Kong to Shenzhen

Hong Kong and Shenzhen face each other across the Shenzhen River. The fastest way to travel from Hong Kong to Shenzhen is taking a high speed train, which only takes around 20min with frequent departures daily. In addition, tourists can take MTR/subway or city bus to arrive at Luohu Port, Huanggang Port and Futian Port first, then pass the border and enter Shenzhen.

I found no direct bus. You need to take HK MTR from Lo Wu to Sheung shui station after going through the customs at Shenzhen Luo Hu, then take Exit D, walk to Platform B4 to take A43 to the airport, taking 85min in total.

You can download Amap to guide directions in Shenzhen. To use the Youtrip card, you can download Alipay, register, finish the verification with passports, and attach youtrip card on Alipay to make payment in China conveniently. To use the Internet, you can purchase an Airsim.

Take HK airport express to Kowloon, walk to West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station to take a high speed train to Futian Railway Station, walk southward to Shopping Park to take metro line 1 to Exhibition Center, then transfer to line 4 to Fumin, take Exit C and walk to the west to your destination.

You need to show your passport, and documents that can prove your purpose to Mainland China, like round-trip ticket, hotel reservation for tourism. You will go through the inspections of Mainland China and also HK at the same point at Hong Kong West Kowloon Railway Station.
