ReplyUS Citizen wanting to do day trip to Shenzhen from HK
What are my travel options (time, cost, and visa requirement) if I want to do a day trip to Shenzhen from HK? I want to find the quickest but most efficient route. I previously thought the 20 min bullet train would be best, but the Shenzhen North Railroad doesn't seem to be an approved port for the 144 hour visa free option. It seems like my best option is to do the ferry from Sheung Wan to Shekou Port as Shekou is an approved port for the 144 hour visa free option.

00ReplyI think you can take HK MTR to Luohu (Lo Wu), or Huanggang Port (Lok Ma Chou in HK), or take a ferry to Shekou to get a Shenzhen VOA at a cost of CNY 130. To utilize the 144, you need to leave for another country or region except for HK after visiting Shenzhen to make it a transit route.

00ReplyHi Rita, so there’s no way to avoid paying the full visa for just doing a day trip from HK to Shenzhen and back to HK?
Answered by Rita | Nov. 11, 2024 17:3600Reply
00ReplyYou can join a day trip organized by local agency to travel visa-free to Shenzhen.
Answered by Esther | Nov. 17, 2024 15:0300Reply
00ReplySo my only options are:
1. Full visa - can do high speed train
2. Join a tour
3. 144 hour visa but have to travel via ferry
Is there no option for high speed train with the 144 hour visa?
Also, the rule only applies for going to Shenzhen right? if needed, I can do ferry (with 144hour visa) and return on the high speed train?

00ReplyAbout option 3, one thing added: cannot go back to HK; a transit route HK - Shenzhen - the third country or region is a must.
West Kowloon Railway Station is not an eligible port to arrive.
You mean take a ferry from HK to Shenzhen then return to HK by high speed train under the 144. Sorry, it's not an eligible transit route but a return trip.
