how do I go to Overseas Chinese Town (ie Knight Valley etc...) from Window of the World and how much it costs. Can I get a Chinese visa from the Luohu border and how much it costs ? Thank you !
Sep. 1,2009 21:08 Mr.Andrew replied:
One stop by Subway Line 1. Of course, you can get a taxi. The flag down rate is enough. You can get a on-arrival visa at Luohu when you enter Shenzhen from Hong Kong. The cost is about 150HKD. I have no idea if it is easy to have one recently. You had better apply for it in advance.

If possible, I think you could ask for help from your hotel which could supply car rental for you. Of course, the fare may be a little higher. On the other hand, you could use the express airport shuttle bus together if you know the hotel location well. Please take it easy~

Well, seldom taxi in Shenzhen or HK could take you shuttling between these two cities directly, unless the cab has two licenses both of HK and Shenzhen. So, you have to transfer to another taxi either in Hong Kong or in Shenzhen out of the custom port. Actually, it is easy to hail a cab~

May. 31,2009 01:33 Mr.Shan replied:
Hello Milena, Shekou is just a small area of the Nanshan District of Shenzhen City. Yes, this area is full of exotic flavor and the most travel essence of Shenzhen are located here. You could take a city-bus or a taxi to the Splendid China & Folk Culture Village,or the Window of the World easily. Out of these parks, you could find the Happy Line which is an overhead monorail passing through the above parks, the Happy Valley and giving you a good view of the Shenzhen Bay in 25 minutes. The fare is 40yuan per adult.

If he is placed in an area of Shenzhen that is farthest away from the University will it still be relatively easy to travel back and forth (under one hour)? Are the buses and trains within Shenzhen convenient and reliable? Thank you!!

Well, you'd better have a place not very fare from the university, if not, the travel time must be over 2 hours. The city is relatively safe, but don't go out very late at night.

Puzzled by your words of east railrod station~ The Hong Kong MTR has a line called East Rail Line that take passengers from the HK downtown area to Luohu-the border of HK and Shenzhen. Kowloon Tong is a station of this line.
From HK Airport to Kowloon, the fastest method should be taking the Airport Express. No transfer is needed.
No visa is needed when you board on the train. The train depart from HK just could lead you to the Customs Port between HK and Shenzhen. Passing through the port on foot, you should take bus or others to traveling in Shenzhen. Your valid visa to entering Shenzhen should be claimed at the port. Aim at short visit. travelers could apply for a 5-day's Shenzhen Visa on arrival the port. But, this visa is only valid in the Special Zone of Shenzhen, not the whole city.
