Hello everyone and welcome to my channel!
Today, I am taking you on a journey from Hong Kong to Shenzhen by MTR.
MTR is the short name for ‘Mass Transit Railway’ and is the major public transport in Hong Kong. It serves pretty much all urbanised areas within Hong Kong (Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territorities) but also takes you to Shenzhen, either to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau which are the 2 borders available if taking the MTR.
Our journey will be on the East Rail Line that goes from Admiralty to Lo Wu/Lok Ma Cha and will start at University Station.
Hope you will enjoy the trip and scenery as we move forward!
To go from University Station to Lok Ma Chau, it will cost you around HKD30 (= 5 USD) and takes around half an hour.
The MTR in Hong Kong is clean, efficient and fast.

For foreigners needing a visa on arrival (for Shenzhen economic zone only), going to Lo Wu MTR station would be better. I believe there are no visa on arrival possible if you go to the station mentioned in this video.

Hello, will I receive a stamp in my passport when entering Hong Kong? I am from Peru and I have a Chinese visa for 1 year, but my limit of stay in China is 60 days, and I want to go to Hong Kong from Shenzhen and return to Shenzhen again because my visa does not allow me to stay more than 60 days.

@hungrymix 5 месяцев назад

When entering HK, you no longer have a stamp on your passport but instead, a slip with the information. As for the entering China (it will count as one entry), if you exit mainland China (and going to HK for example), you might not be able to re-enter depending your visa (if multiple or single entry). The 60 days is the period you are allowed for one entry.

Uhh from Admiralty to Lo Wu it’s 50.8 dollars, but if you take bus 960, then change to B3/B3X, it will only cost 35.8 dollars 😂

@hungrymix 2 месяца назад

it is really a long wait if by bus, especially if there is traffic on the road, otherwise can take mtr all the way Fanling or Sheung Shui and take bus

@SleepyCatto_ 2 месяца назад

I mean, B3/ B3X goes to Shenzhen Bay Port. And it is cheaper?

@chairman76 4 месяца назад

The easiest way is to use the high speed train from Kowloon West.. only 15 minutes to Mainland (Shenzhen)

@hungrymix 4 месяца назад

it really depends where you are planning to go in Shenzhen (north side) or just near the border as well as where you travel from in HK. Obviously, the 15mn is just the travel time but have to take into consideration the overall time (customs, waiting ahead before boarding and waiting at the station) which could add additional 30 minutes easily

@MercedesBenxx 3 месяца назад

What is the cheapest way? Lets say i am starting at Jordan Station? I just want to spend one day in Shenzhen.

@hungrymix 3 месяца назад

best to take east rail line, to change at kowloon tong

Do Filipinos need to apply visa just to travel from HK to Shenzhen (short stay over) then back to HK?

@hungrymix 3 месяца назад

Based on latest countries exempted from visa, they are not included, therefore, visa would be required

which station of mtr can you take the train going to lok ma chau?

@hungrymix 5 месяцев назад

Lok Ma chau is on the East Rail Line going all the way to Admiralty in HK island, but transportation in HK is pretty convenient and you can change/connect along the way

What transportation from Hongkong to Mei Zhou ?

@hungrymix 5 месяцев назад

I don't think there is direct transportation from HK to Meizhou, you would need to go to Shenzhen to change

Hi, if i am departing from Futian Port to Lo Ma chau, do i need to have Octopus card upon exiting Futian or upon exiting lo ma chau?

@hungrymix 7 месяцев назад

Futian port is on Shenzhen side while Lok Ma Chau is on Hong Kong side. What is separating both is the border/bridge. If you are not taking the metro in either sise, no need to have an octopus. Both have taxi or bus either side

Would you recommend travelling from Hong Kong to Shenzhen to play golf for a one day trip ? Is it better by train or taxi ? Thanks 🙂

@hungrymix 8 месяцев назад

it really depends if you have all your gear or not. if not, easier and simpler by train

@jamesanderson6392 8 месяцев назад

Hi thanks. I would be taking my clubs with me and for that reason would prefer to take a taxi. Would this be awkward (crossing the border and clearing the customs/passport check ? I will only be there for three days and would only be able to do it on Sunday 28th January ? Thanks again. @@hungrymix

@cosmogally1964 8 месяцев назад

@@jamesanderson6392 Much more straightforward to just use the train, you go right through. For taxi you wouldnt be able to go to Lok Ma Chau or Lo Wu as they are in the Fronter Restricted Zone

@hungrymix 8 месяцев назад

There is a road border next to the Lok Ma Chau station which is open 24hrs but only accessible by taxi, bus. Usually people are using this border when the other one nearby is closed. As for Lo Wu (MTR), it is not accessible by car. So definitely suggest MTR overall

@FG-wm6eu Год назад

how does it work with passport control? Is it after you exit the station?

@hungrymix Год назад

you just go through the metro gate exit and the passport control is just behind, literally 20m

@FG-wm6eu Год назад

@@hungrymix can‘t wait to explore it. One other question: Could you use octopus card for going to shenzen & going than back to hk again? Or do you need buy an extra ticket for this suwbay ride

@hungrymix Год назад

you can use the octopus to go up to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau MTR then after in Shenzhen, it is another company so you will have to either get a ticket/token to use the transportation over there
