ReplyNavigating the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Border: Advice for First-Time Travelers
Hello,
I'm seeking advice on crossing the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. I plan to travel to Hong Kong this September and then cross into Shenzhen. I'm Vietnamese and have obtained visas for both Hong Kong and China.
I'm curious about the customs procedure at the Shenzhen border gate. Is it challenging, or is it more straightforward than airport immigration? This will be my first time traveling to China.
Additionally, could you recommend which border crossing tends to be less crowded? I'm concerned about long queues. I intend to use either the MTR or the HSR to Shenzhen, so I'm considering crossings at Lo Wu Station, Lok Ma Chau Station, or Futian Railway Station.
Thank you for your assistance.

00ReplyThe procedures are basically the same as at the airport. Don't worry, just follow the signboards and ask the border if you have any question.
Futian or Huanggang (Lok Ma Chau in HK) Port are less crowded and Huanggang opens 24 hours.

00ReplyYou can take a ferry from HKIA to Shenzhen Shekou port without go through the immigration of HK and go direct to the E2 counter in arrival hall for a ferry ticket. From Shekou port, you can take metro line 8 to Hubei, Exit B out, then walk westward for 300 meters, then northward for 500 meters to find the hotel.

00ReplyI 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.
