Hello, I'll be travelling to Hong Kong via Shenzhen Airport on March. We will arrive quite late around 21.00 pm. Can anyone advice what is the best convenient way to get to Hong Kong central at this late house? help is much appreciated and thank you.

Answer: (from THKA insider Don)

For a hassle free when traveling from Shenzhen Airport to Central, Hong Kong, we would suggest that you take the Ferry.

Here's is how...
Take the shuttle bus from Shenzhen Airport to Shenzhen’s Fu Yong pier nearby for under 5 minutes drive, there you can find the Ferry that bounds for Hong Kong Sheung Wan Ferry Terminal right above the Sheung Wan MTR Station which is next to Central MTR station in Central, (note that there are also Ferries going to Hong Kong City Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui and to Sky Pier at Hong Kong International Airport). The sea journey takes about 1 hour.

Alternate route by bus (not recommended but it would be a good adventure and travel experience).
Here's is how...

Take the bus K568 from Shenzhen Airport to Lo Wu, Shenzhen. The bus journey is 45 minutes, about 15 minutes interval, fare about RMB20. The bus will stops at the Lo Wu Commercial City Building adjacent to the immigration building and there are signs around to indicate the direction. So you won’t have problem finding your way.

First, you need to have a passport check in the China immigration then followed by Hong Kong immigration then upon exit you can find right away the MTR trains that will bring you to almost all parts of the city, but you need to interchange trains at Kowloon Tong station to Mongkok station, then finally to Central station (about 60 minutes travel).
