Transportation

From Hong Kong airport to Shenzhen

When you arrive at Hong Kong Airport, there are several options to reach your final destination in Shenzhen. There is quite a lot of information available via the website of the Airport, but for exact information you still need to visit some Chinese websites.

By Ferry

The ferry sails from 09:00 to 21:20 (English link). Tickets cost about 260RMB one way for adults (prices). The ferry goes to Shekou. If that’s your final destination (or the greater Nanshan area), it’s fine to take the boat. If you want to go to Futian or Luohu, you still need to take a bus or taxi from Shekou. The subway line starting from the ferry pier is not yet finished.

By Bus

There are several bus operators, tickets range from 100-160RMB one way for adults. You can take busses to the border (Huanggang), or into Shenzhen to various major hotels. More details about busses below.

The HKIA website gives a good overview.
