Comments on: Train Transport: Hong Kong to Shenzhen http://annatam.com/hk-to-shenzhen-train/ A Blog About Hong Kong and Mainland China Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:51:59 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Huey http://annatam.com/hk-to-shenzhen-train/comment-page-2/#comment-36372 Huey Thu, 28 Jan 2010 05:06:49 +0000 http://annatam.com/?p=400#comment-36372 Hi all, Just sitting in Shenzhen airport right now and while I found the stuff I found on the web very informative re: getting from HK to Shenzhen via train, I found it wanting when referring to timelines. I left Hong Kong Central train station this morning and paid for a one way ticket to Lo Wu (the end of the line stop on the border to China) and that cost me 41.50 HKD. The trip took about 1 hr and 10 minutes and requires you to change trains twice. Allow an extra 10 minutes for each change, as while lines are quite close, the signage on the HK subways is extremely poor when compared to Beijing or Shanghai. After arriving in Lo Wu you are virtually in Shenzhen/China, however you should allow yourself 30-45 minutes to "leave HK" and "enter China"....that is fill out the necessary departure and arrival paperwork/cards and clear immigration on each side of "the fence". Once exiting into the Shenzhen/China side and if you want to or plan on getting to Shenzhen airport, be prepared to be immediately accosted by "taxi drivers" (actually freelance drivers looking for the unsuspecting or needy foreigners) who will offer you a ride to the airport for 300 RMB. Myself, I gladly took this option as I was running late and could not afford to wait for or find a real taxi. Time from the Lo Wu/Shenzhen border crossing to Shenzhen airport is approximately 1 hr, however we were able to accomplish this in about 40 minutes today. In all, from HK Central station, I would allow your self 4 hrs in total to arrive at Shenzhen airport. Cheers and happy travelling. K-Man Hi all,

Just sitting in Shenzhen airport right now and while I found the stuff I found on the web very informative re: getting from HK to Shenzhen via train, I found it wanting when referring to timelines.

Otherwise you may cross Chinese/Hongkong border through Lou hu/Lo Wu (they are the same: the chinese side is called Lou hu, hong kong side of the border is Lo Wu). And then from Lo wu you can catch underground metro to hongkong airport. That's not difficult, quite easy.
