Thank you for your inquiry.

Z230 departs from Shenzhen Railway Station, the one at No. 1003 Jianshe Road. It is near Luohu station on metro line 1. This station is named by city name, so it is just called "Shenzhen" Station. Hope for your kind understanding.

You can still find taxi at the station as long as there are train arrival, but less than day time and the taxi fare would be higher. Sometimes, driver do not go by meter during night. So you need to negotiate the price with driver.
