HK airport to Shenzhen
Hi,

I have a few questions. My flight will arrive at Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1 at 7 pm, will I have enough time to catch the last ferry? If yes, where is the landing point for boarding? Do I need to go through customs?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Victor, thank you for this information. Just to confirm, this is for cross border bus services ( CTS, E&E, etc,) direct to Shenzhen Bay port right? And not the regular HK bus routes to the City of HK.

I'm afraid no. Taxi is forbidden in Lp Wu area. You may take a taxi to Sheung Shui MTR Station and then take the MTR to reach the control point.

The most convenient way is to take a ferry from HK airport to SZ airport directly. You should go to the ferry ticketing counter at Transfer Area E2 and DO NOT go through immigration.

I know they accept cash in HK dollars. But I'm not clear if they accept the visa cards or not. Anyway, just prepare some HK cash to avoid any troubles.
