Is it convenient to go to Hong Kong and stay in Shenzhen at night?

Shenzhen is the closest city between the mainland and Hong Kong. The customs on both sides are the boundary of Hong Kong. If you go to Hong Kong and choose to stay in Shenzhen at night, it should be quite convenient if you understand it literally. However, whether it is convenient in the actual implementation process depends on the following factors: 1. It depends on where you want to visit in Hong Kong. If it is an attraction or place relatively close to Shenzhen, such as: Sheung Shui or Fanling... It is quite convenient to get to these places that don’t take too long to get to after passing the customs in Shenzhen. But if you are far away from the checkpoint, after passing the checkpoint and then transferring to the subway two or three times, you will have been gone for several hours. Even if you play, you probably won’t have a lot of fun. 2. It depends on the specific time period for visiting Hong Kong. This time period determines whether the time difference between Shenzhen and Hong Kong and the cost of accommodation between the two sides is worth visiting Hong Kong during the day and returning to Shenzhen for accommodation at night. According to my personal experience of going to Hong Kong three to four times a year, there are usually a lot of people during holidays, especially around Christmas and Spring Festival. The customs clearance time from Shenzhen to Hong Kong's Luohu, Futian and other checkpoints usually takes more than two days. Moreover, if you choose a hotel near the checkpoint in Shenzhen, the cost is not much cheaper than a hotel in Hong Kong, and you spend too much time and energy on the customs clearance. I personally feel that the gain outweighs the gain. 3. The specific number of days to visit in Hong Kong. If you apply for a normal Hong Kong and Macao pass for an individual trip to Hong Kong, generally one visa is an opportunity for two round-trips. This means that you will clear the customs on the first day, visit Hong Kong for a day, return to Shenzhen to stay in the evening, and then pass the customs on the second day. When arriving in Hong Kong, I have used up two visas when I return to Shenzhen in the evening. On the third day, I can no longer cross the border from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and must apply for a new visa. This is also a very important factor. If you go on a trip and go through customs and visas repeatedly, I think there should be no convenience. Personally, I feel that it is inconvenient and I might as well just live in Hong Kong. First, it would be too troublesome for you to return to Shenzhen. The next day when you enter Hong Kong, you will use up the number of visas again, because you have to re-swipe the visa every time you enter Hong Kong. This is also a cost, and traveling back and forth by car, subway, etc. is troublesome and a waste of time. Secondly, there are cheap accommodations in Hong Kong. Although accommodation in Hong Kong is generally more expensive than in the Mainland, and the places you live in are smaller, you can still find places with good value for money. I can talk about my experience living in Hong Kong. I recently went to Hong Kong and stayed there for two nights. One night I stayed in a youth hostel. It was on the top of a mountain. The surrounding environment was very nice and quiet, and the view was also very good. However, the room was not as satisfactory as I could only put down the bed. And a small table, nothing else is provided. The bathroom and shower room are outside and it is public. The house below is the one I live in. The price is more than 300. I am not particularly satisfied with it, but Many travel friends like the environment here, and there are also some cheap bed rooms, which cost around a hundred yuan. I was quite satisfied with my stay on the second day. It was in a very prosperous area next to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. Although the room was small, it basically had everything, including slippers, refrigerator, TV, safe, mineral water, hair dryer, etc. It has everything you need, and there is also a separate bathroom. Staying on non-holidays costs 280 per night, and it costs about 100 more on Fridays, Saturdays and other holidays. In fact, it is still okay to stay for one night. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, in Hong Kong, this price is affordable. I think this kind of room is pretty good. So if you don’t want to go through the hassle of traveling between Hong Kong and Shenzhen every day, and your accommodation requirements are not particularly high, it is recommended to find a cost-effective accommodation in Hong Kong for one night. After all, it takes a lot of time and expense to go back and forth. It must be inconvenient, unless you plan to visit Hong Kong for half a day and then leave. Otherwise, even if you leave the country after passing the customs, you will need a pass to re-enter. But I don’t understand why I want to live in Shenzhen. Accommodation in Hong Kong is not expensive.

Of course, if you go to Hong Kong and want to live in a single room like the one in the Mainland, it will be difficult to pay 500 or 600 yuan, but if you are willing to live in a youth hostel bed, the cheapest bed per night is less than 80 yuan. , and it is also in a very prosperous area of ??Sham Shui Po. The slightly better International Youth Hostel costs about RMB 150 per bed, and the air-conditioned rooms are quite spacious. Even the youth hostel in Tsim Sha Tsui only costs more than 100 yuan per bed. There is an airport bus stop downstairs and it is located in the heart of the city. In fact, many people think that accommodation in Hong Kong is very expensive. Indeed, if you want to live in a room similar to our domestic chain hotels, even if it costs 800 yuan, it may not be that big in Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong is an area with a small amount of land and a large number of people, but there are many expensive accommodations and there are also many cheap accommodations. On average, youth hostels cannot be said to be excellent, but they cannot be said to be bad either. If you are traveling as a family and cannot stay in a youth hostel, you might try staying in a B&B, because it is not cheap based on the number of people per family and the beds. Some B&Bs cost around 400 to 500 yuan. In addition, Hong Kong has convenient transportation. If you don’t live in a prosperous area, , the accommodation cost will also be lower. As long as it does not happen to be a public holiday in Hong Kong, the accommodation cost will not be very high. Hotels in Hong Kong can be very expensive, but there are also many cheap hostels. Therefore, if you plan to visit for a few days, you might as well book a room in advance. The earlier you book on the booking website, the lower the price. If you book today, you will book tomorrow. , it will be much more expensive, especially during the peak season, when good housing is basically not available, so it is important to plan in advance. Hi, I am a vegetarian, a foodie who loves traveling, eating vegetarian food, and not thinking! If you like my article, please feel free to comment and share it! I stayed at the Social Security Bureau of Futian District in Shenzhen. There were many hotels and cost more than 200 yuan a night. In the morning, I took the subway from Futian Port to East Tsim Sha Tsui and then to Tsim Sha Tsui. I walked from the Avenue of Stars to Harbor City. After shopping, I took a ferry across the sea to Wan Chai Pier. Here you can go to Mid-Levels, Causeway Bay, Bauhinia Square, etc., go shopping in the evening and go to Lan Kwai Fong for a drink. After drinking, walk to Wan Chai Pier, take a bus to Huanggang Port, and go back to the hotel to sleep! It would have been inconvenient before, but with the opening of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail since September 23, it is a very good idea to sleep in Shenzhen at night and visit Hong Kong during the day! After all, hotels in Shenzhen are much more cost-effective than those in Hong Kong! Option 1: Stay in a hotel near Shenzhen North Railway Station at night. Here are several good hotel recommendations. The first one is the Vienna International Hotel in the West Square of Shenzhen North Railway Station: There is no need to worry about the noise caused by this hotel because it is close to the high-speed rail station. Moreover, the rooms here are very big and spacious. You don’t have to squeeze into a small room like Kowloon, Hong Kong. From here, it takes half an hour to reach Kowloon, Hong Kong by high-speed train. You can’t say it’s convenient! Option 2: You can stay in a hotel near Futian High-speed Railway Station at night. However, the hotels here are mainly high-star hotels, and the prices are generally more than 800 yuan. The options are: Marco Polo Good Day Hotel, Ritz-Carlton Dayton Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel: Of course, there are also very cost-effective theme apartments. We recommend Hangu Theme Apartment, which only costs 288 yuan per night. Isn’t it a good deal? Summary: The opening of the high-speed rail has accelerated the urbanization of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so the inconvenient problems before have been solved! After all, the high-speed train from Futian to Kowloon only takes 14 minutes, which is just as long as a cup of tea! Are you ready? If you are visiting for more than two days, it is recommended to stay one night in Hong Kong. Because when you go back to Shenzhen from Hong Kong, you have to spend time, energy, etc. Don’t forget to include the transportation costs on the road. If you take the MTR back to Lo Wu, the round trip cost is 40 HKD per person. Because Lo Wu (Lok Ma Chau)-Sheung Shui is the departure section, it is particularly expensive. Taking a taxi in Hong Kong is also very expensive, so it would be better to stay in Hong Kong for one night. Like when I went to Hong Kong from Guangzhou for two days, I took the Guangzhou-Shenzhen bus to Luohu early in the morning, passed the border and transferred directly to the subway, and stayed one night in a hotel in Yau Ma Tei. The next day, I left my luggage in the hotel and went to play. In the evening, I took the subway back to Lok Ma Chau and stayed in a youth hostel in Futian, Shenzhen, which is relatively close to the subway station. If you go back to Shenzhen at night like me, remember to reserve time to go back.

The last train on the East Rail Line back to the border, I remember it was around 9:40 pm. If you still have two days to play, calculate your approximate transportation expenses. It is recommended to buy a two-day pass on Taobao for most places you go. Although Shenzhen is very close to Hong Kong, I personally feel that there is no need to spend the night in Shenzhen. It is recommended to spend the night in Hong Kong. , there are two main points. 1. It’s too troublesome. Although it’s very close, I think it’s quite troublesome. At the same time, I think it’s a waste of time. Crossing the border and taking the subway back and forth are tiring and a waste of time. It’s better to find some cheap and simple hotels in Hong Kong that are safer and make do. After one night, I was very energetic the next day. After all, I came out to play and not to enjoy myself. It’s okay to make do with it. The main thing is to have fun. 2. If you stay overnight in Shenzhen, and then return to Hong Kong the next day, you will need to sign again for entry. This will waste the number of visas, so I personally think it is unnecessary. Let me talk about my experience last year: We went there as two people and spent the night in Hong Kong. We booked a hotel for RMB 300, an average of RMB 150 per person. This price is quite cost-effective. It is recommended that you go with a companion to make the consumption cost-effective. The main ones are: You are safe and have someone to take care of you no matter what you do. Don't worry, if you go to Sha Tin, it might be fine. If you go to Causeway Bay or something farther away, you'll want to die by taking the train. Their railway is extremely slow. The price of the train to both places is enough to stay one night. I've never taken a taxi. It won't be cheap if you think about it, and living in Shenzhen costs money, so it's more convenient to live there. Because the question in question is not very specific, in Tiao Tiao Niu’s opinion, whether this is convenient or not depends on many factors, such as where to go to Hong Kong and how many days to visit... Below Tiao Tiao Niu will sort it out for everyone according to different situations. Just give it a try. 1: Shenzhen-Hong Kong Customs Clearance Port Before we start, let’s first introduce the customs clearance ports from Shenzhen to Hong Kong. Generally, most people will choose these 5 ports to leave the country: Luohu Port, Futian Port, Huanggang Port, Shenzhen Bay Port, and Wenjindu port. The opening hours of each port and the way to enter the city of Hong Kong after customs clearance are different. The specific information has been compiled in a table for everyone to compare~~ 2. Go to Hong Kong and return on the same day - it is more convenient to live in Shenzhen For same-day travelers, it is perfectly fine to stay near the Shenzhen port the night before and cross the border early the next morning. Tiao Tiao Niu recommends that you start from Luohu Port, because after clearing customs at Luohu Port, you can take the subway directly, the transportation is more convenient, and there are many accommodation options near the port, and the price is also very affordable, there are hotels for less than 150 yuan a night. More than 100. If it is a day trip, Tiao Tiao Niu recommends that you get up as early as possible so that you can leave more time for fun. For example, you wake up at 6 o'clock and arrive at the port to go through customs at 7 o'clock. It takes about 30 minutes to cross the border. That is, you will arrive in Hong Kong at 7:30, and then take the East Rail to Hung Hom terminus. It's about 9 o'clock at this time. Next, you can go to Tsim Sha Tsui - Victoria Peak - Victoria Harbor and other places. Remember to end the activities before 9:30 in the evening, and then take the subway back to Lo Wu Port, otherwise you will not be able to catch the East Rail The last train on the line. 3. Two-day trip to Hong Kong and above - it is recommended to live in Hong Kong. If it is a trip of more than two days, Tiao Tiao Niu does not recommend that everyone travel to and from Shenzhen every day. In fact, it is more convenient and saves money to live in Hong Kong. Below, I will give you a comparative explanation from four aspects, taking a two-day trip from Luohu Port as an example. There are 5 types of travel endorsements in Hong Kong, namely: one-time endorsement for three months, two-time endorsement for three months, one-time endorsement for one year, two-time endorsement for one year, and multiple endorsements for one year (limited to Shenzhen household registration) , each stay in Hong Kong or Macau does not exceed 7 days, and one visa can only be used for entry and exit once. There is a mandatory requirement for endorsement. If you are traveling for two days, you can still apply for a second valid endorsement of 40 yuan. However, if you are traveling for three days or more, I am sorry that it is not possible.

Some people may say that since the two-day travel visa can be obtained, it is very cost-effective for me to come back and live in Shenzhen. Don't worry, watch Tiao Tiao Niu settle accounts with everyone below. After calculation and comparison, we can find that living in Hong Kong is actually cheaper. If you live in Shenzhen, it takes 30 minutes to get through the security check at the port and 45 minutes from Luohu Port to Hung Hom Station. It takes 150 minutes on the road in two days, a full 2 ??and a half hours! I have to get up early to clear customs and catch the last subway train back at night. But if you live in Hong Kong, for example near Hung Hom Terminus, you only need to enter and exit the port once, which saves more than half of your time and gives you a lot more time to travel. Through the above comparison, we can easily see that living in Hong Kong is obviously more economical and more convenient, saving us more time to fully experience the scenery of Hong Kong. 4. Hong Kong Accommodation Tips When choosing a hotel, Tiaotiao Niu recommends that you choose to stay in places such as Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, and Jordan. These are Hong Kong’s traditional living areas and the concentration of affordable hotels in Hong Kong. They also have subways, trains, buses, Both night lines pass through Mong Kok, and the transportation is extremely convenient. And Tiao Tiao Niu would like to remind everyone that the hotel room area in Hong Kong is smaller than that in the mainland. The room area of ??hotel-type hotels is more than 7 square meters, and the room area of ??high-end hotels is about 20 square meters. 4. In fact, the transportation methods into Hong Kong are now 8012. There are many more transportation methods into Hong Kong. In addition to living in Shenzhen and walking through the border, there are more choices. Below, Tiao Tiao Niu has compiled a table for everyone to see: It is worth mentioning here that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-Speed ??Railway, the Hong Kong section of this line will be officially put into operation on September 23. Because it is connected to the Beijing-Guangzhou, Hangzhou-Fuzhou-Shenzhen, Shanghai-Kunming, and Guizhou-Guangzhou passenger lines, all 38 cities along the way can directly take the high-speed rail to Hong Kong! There are 12 stations in Guangdong Province, including Shaoguan, Shanwei, and Shantou; outside the province, there are 26 stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, Guilin, Guiyang, Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Fuzhou, and Xiamen. Therefore, no matter how many days you are traveling, if you are in a city along the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-speed Railway, you can consider taking the High-speed Railway directly to Hong Kong West Kowloon Station. You don’t have to go to Shenzhen to stay for one night and then go through the customs the next day. The above are all the answers given by Tiao Tiao Niu. If there are any biases, please correct me. Now that you’ve seen this, let’s give it a like and go~
