How late is the midnight? If it's before 00:00, you can take bus no.A21 from the airport to Argyle Centre, Nathan Road directly; duration is about 50 minutes and ticket fare is HKD35. If it's even late, you may need to hire a taxi.

Yes, you do. You can apply for a visa on arrival at Luohu Port. The visa office opens from 9:00-16:30 and you should go there as early as possible. It costs CNY 541.
