Fastest bus from Shenzhen airport to Hong Kong?

Hi. I will be arriving in Shenzhen airport approx 10am in the morning. What is the quickest and most convenient bus I can take to Hong Kong? Are there different companies? Different routes?





Thanks :)



Fastest bus from Shenzhen airport to Hong Kong?


Where are you going in Hong Kong? You might also want to consider taking the airport shuttle to the Luohu border, then walk across and take the MTR to wherever you need to go.

It does depend where you are going in Hong kong, but generally this service using the Shenzhen Bay border crossing is the fastest.





See www.chinalink.hk/co_service_routes17.html





For return see www.chinalink.hk/co_service_routes16.html





Route details are:





Hotline (Hong Kong): (852) 2230 3030





Whole journey time: 75 minutes





Through: Shenzhen Hong Kong West Corridor, with Hong Kong/mainland China checkpoints under one roof – convenient





Cost: HK$100





Departing from Hong Kong:





6:15 – 19:15 daily; two buses departing hourly; at :15 and at :45 (6:15, 6:45; 7:15, 7:45; 8:15, 8:45; 9:15, 9:45, etc)





Ticketing office: 1/F, Elements Shopping Mall, at Kowloon Station (Exit C, Kowloon Station of Hong Kong MTR)





Departing from Shenzhen Airport:





9:30 – 21:00 daily; two buses departing hourly; at :30 and at :00 (09:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, etc)





Ticketing office: A08, B04 counters, Arrival Hall, Shenzhen Airport




Turbojet also run a high-speed catamaran service from Shenzhen airport (3 minute shuttle ride to the pier) to Hong Kong island.




I would suggest, take taxi to Shekou Ferry terminal, from there, you can take ferry directly to HK.





Taxi ride is approx 30-40mins and ferry is 60min.





Also you avoid the more congested area of crossing from Shenzhen to HK. Whole this should take under 2 hours if it is timed right.




The Shenzhen Bay border crossing is not congested.




=Is there any way to find out what time ferries leave ?




Is there any way to find out - what time the ferries leave?? I also tried the number given and the websites - and its all in Chinese :-(



Unfortunately - i don’t understand a thing!




Turbojet now only has one sailing per day from Shenzhen%26#39;s Fu Yong Pier (near the airport ) to China Hong Kong City Pier at Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. The boat departs at 16:30.





As Drumbrake suggested, your most comfortable mode of transport is to take the bus through Western corridor from the airport to Elements shopping mall at Kowloon Station.





Another possibility is to take a taxi to Fu Tian, where you can then transfer to the train to Hong Kong along the MTR East Rail. The border crossing there is relatively uncrowded and facilities are modern.





I don%26#39;t recommend crossing at Huanggang or Lo Wu if you could avoid it.

Drumbrake, you alway give excellent advice:





You think this is a good idea, if spending the money for the cab is no problem?





Sounds more convenient, esp. for somebody who does not speak the ';common language';.





How much would a taxi be to TST from Fu Tian?




Sammyfloyd means taxi from Shenzhen airport to Fu Tian. I think the cost is around 100 rmb. Then you cross the border and catch the MTR East Rail to Kowloon, terminating at Tsim Sha tsui East. That way is fine - although have the address written in Chinese for the taxi driver - Fu Tian Kou An (福田口岸, Futian Port).
