After running into some snags I am considering flying into Shenzhen then going to either HK or Kowloon. The latter is where I want to go.

I've read departure tax from Mainland to HK is 216Y so that rather boosted the flight cost to HK. And since it would be two back to back flights another 50Y or 90Y for the domestic.

On a website I saw the turbojet has a shuttle from the ferry to the Shenzhen airport not the other way around. If I need taxis that rather defeats the purpose.

What options do I have to go from Shenzhen airport to either Kowloon or HK. Anyone know how to get from the airport to the ferry or is there a bus to Kowloon from the airport.

My two bags are small, but still cumbersome.

Any transportation ideas is appreciated.

Thanks

Ticket prices now include the Y50 and Y90 so this is not an extra cost. Once you've bouth your ticket you will not have to pay it again.

From Shenzhen airport there shuttle bus to the Shekou ferry which comes into Kowloon. Works both ways. Cost of ferry is about Y200.

What you are comparing is the cost of flying from mainland to HK verses cost of flying from Mainland to Shenzhen plus Y200 for the ferry which most say is a worthwhile saving.
Shekou to
Departure Time Arrival Pier Arrival Time
7:45 Central 8:45
8:30 Kowloon 9:30
9:00 Kowloon 10:00
10:15 Central 11:15
11:00 Kowloon 12:00
12:00 Central 13:00
14:00 Central 15:00
14:45 Kowloon 15:45
16:00 Kowloon 17:00
16:30 Central 17:30
17:30 Kowloon 18:30
19:45 Central 20:45
21:30 Central 22:30

Ticket Price to Airport is 180 HKD.to Hongkong is 90 HKD before 5:30pm, after it is 110 HKD

Anyway check it out yourself but airport to Kowloon is comfortable and easy with the turbo jet. Just have to watch your sailing times.

You can go to Kowloon by ferry. Moreover, I would like to inform you another way to go to Kowloon/Hong Kong fro Shenzhen

Once you are in Shenzhen airport, take the shuttle bus K568 to "Lo Wu" which charges less than $50RB and takes around 30-50ins, then you can take go to Kowloon/Hong Kong from Lo Wu by KCR train. It charges HK$34.2 and takes around 35 minutes.
