It is not in walking distance, about 4km. If by taxi, it takes around 15min. Or you can take metro line 4 to convention center and finally walk about 1km to the railway station. Among railway station, the nearest one to Window of World should be Shenzhen West Station but it has only slow trains. If for high speed rides, Futian should be the nearest one.
