Shenzhen North Stn to Hong Kong West Kowloon Stn

Hello, may I ask how many hours should I reach the Shenzhen North Stn before departure to Hong Kong West Kowloon Stn? My train ticket is 2143pm. Must we reach the Shenzhen stn 1 hour earlier for immigration process? or we can just be there half hour before as immigration clearance is only done when we reach Hong Kong right?

Answered by Emma | Dec. 04, 2024 18:50

I think 30min earlier is enough because you will go though all the checks at West Kowloon after you get off the train.

Shenzhen to HK

Hi,

Is there any authorized train that i can take to exit China from Shenzhen to Hong Kong if i´m there with the 144 hours free transit visa?

Recently, HK West Kowloon High Speed Station was set to be an eligible railway port to exit Mainland China, but there hasn't been a living example at present. So I advise you to give up taking a bullet train from Shenzhen, but to exit at Shekou Port and take ferry to HK to ensure a smooth trip.
