Transportation between HK and Shenzhen

Hong Kong is a beautiful place named as a shopping paradise. Almost every foreigner comes to Southern China mainland via Hong Kong. So it is very important to learn about the transportation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen before you come to Shenzhen on business or for travel around China. Why? It is because Shenzhen is very close to Hong Kong, and it is much cheaper to fly to the other inland cities from Shenzhen than from Hong Kong directly.

There are several transportation methods you can choose from when traveling between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, such as the ferry, the train, the bus, the taxi, etc.

Shenzhen is a very long city in length, so if you are coming to the western part, the easiest way from Hong Kong is to choose the ferry to arrive at the Shekou ferry port directly. I’ll enclose the ferry schedule information in my blog for your convenience.

There is also another convenient route for passengers who fly into Hong Kong and are taking an immediate flight out to an inland city from the Shenzhen Airport. They can take the ferry from HK international Airport to the Fuyong ferry port. From there it is only about a 10 minute drive by taxi to the Shenzhen Airport. Then you can catch a flight to anywhere from the Shenzhen Airport. It will save you a lot of money compared to catching a flight to an inland city from Hong Kong directly. The schedules are as below.
