Taxi / Sky Limo from HKIA to Shenzhen

We are arriving at HKIA around 8.30pm. Assume clear immigration and collect luggage by 10pm, is it still possible to get taxi or sky limo to Shenzhen hotel? Is it safe at night?

Yes, the sky limo is in service 7/24h and it's safe at night. You can book the skylimo in advance on the official site of HKIA. You can also take MTR to Lo Wu Port, go through the checks there and enter Shenzhen, then take a taxi to your hotel.

From Nanshan District in Shenzhen? The fastest and most convenient way is to take a ferry from Shekou Port to SkyPier of HKIA if your flight is included in the SkyPier participating airlines (check it on the official website of HKIA). Or you can take metro lines to Shenzhen North or Futian Railway Station to take a bullet train to West Kowloon Station, then walk to Kowloon MTR station for airport express line to HKIA.

You can take a taxi to Huanggang Port (operating 24 hours) and exit there to Lok Ma Chau and transfer to a Hong Kong city bus to New Territory according to your destination. There are night buses at Lok Ma Chau as I know.
