Shenzhen to Honk Kong

I am flying from Bangkok to Shenzhen, arriving at night. I will be staying at the Best Western Felicity hotel,Shenzhen and wondered what is the best way of getting there from the airport. TAXI, Bus, other? What is the best form of travel (ease and cost?)

I am also travelling from Shenzhen the following morning the Hong Kong. I believe that the train leaves from the station next to the hotel?? Does it go to Hong Kong. How much will it cost? How frequent is the service. Once in HKK I have to get to Marco Polo Prince. What is the best way of getting there and cost?

I am asuming the return trip will be via same modes HKK - SHZ, missing the bit in the middle with a stay at the Best Western Felicity. Is there direct transport form Honk Kong to Shenzhen airport?

Thanks for your help in advance. Nothing worse than arriving in a country at night when you don't speak the language. Unavoidable unfortunately.

If the Best Western is next to LoWu station, then there is a direct express bus from the airport for you. If not, depending on the time you arrive, catch a taxi. Fare to Lo Wu should be around HK$150.

The next morning catch the train to its final stop in East TST. You can walk to the hotel from their in around 10 minutes.

Going back, you can catch a direct ferry to Shenzhen airport (via 10 min shuttle bus) from China Hong Kong City ferry terminal, just north of Marco Polo, costing HK$200. Takes 1 hour.

In Hong Kong English is widely spoken.

From the sound of it you are going to need at least a double entry visa.

Keep banging those rocks together, guys.
