You can walk about 400m to take Bus Line 203C from TSIM SHA TSUI EAST (MODY ROAD) to KIMBERLEY ROAD and then transfer to Bus Line N21 to Cheong Tat Road. Get off the bus, you can see the airport. It takes about 2 hours to get.

To which place in Shenzhen? I suppose it's Luo Wu Border, crossing which you will be in Shenzhen.

From Yuen Long, take MTR Tuen Ma Line to Hung Hom, then change to East Rail Line to Lo Wu. This is the fastest way, taking about 75 minutes and HKD58.
