Yes, you can travel by high speed train from HK to Shenzhen. You will accept immigration and customs checks of both HK and Mainland China at West Kowloon station, so you will cross border at West Kowloon.

To enter mainland China by high speed train, I advise to take a high speed train at HK West Kowloon. And you don't need to report immigration before travel with a valid China visa, just go to West Kowloon and accept checks there.

Where is this Longnan, because there is more than one in China spelling like this?

You can take a ferry or cross-border bus from Macau to Shenzhen. From Shenzhen to HKIA, it's advised to take fast ferry from Shekou Port to SkyPier of HKIA if you hold the same day flight ticket from HKIA.
Most tourists in Shenzhen choose to stay in Luohu district.
