Mr.Rollie,

That will be a very hurry trip. You may enter Shenzhen from Lohu port and then take subway to Splendid China and WOW. Then take No.329 bus or a taxi to Shekou Ferry Terminal and take ferry to Macau. If you take No.329 bus, it takes around half an hour to Shekou Ferry Terminal. If you take a taxi, you will pay around CNY37. It takes about 1 hour from Shekou to Macau.

I’v found out that the last ferry departs at 19:30 from Shekou to Macau. I don’t know if you have enough time to catch the last ferry.

If you intend to go, better buy your ticket from Shekou to Macau in advance. You can book your ticke online. Here is their website: http://www.szgky.com/en/index.asp

1. How we get to Lohu Port (to enter Shenzhen)from our hotel?Estimated cost of fares?
2. Is it better to visit WOW and splendid china in 1 day and at night go back to Hongkong?

Mr.Rollie,

You can can go to Hung Hom first and then take MTR to Lohu. You need around 42 minutes from Hung Hom to Lohu. The mtr ticket fare is HK$33.

I think it is possible for you to visit WOW and Splendid China just in one day and then go back to HK. Remember that the Lohu port closes at 24:00 during the night.

Thanks again. From Tsim Sha Tsui, Nathan Road,what is the best mode of transport going to Hung Hom, bus or MTR and how much? When we get to Lohu (is it the same with Lo Wu?) where we can apply our visa for 1 day tour at Shenzhen? What are the requirements we need to bring? What are the processes in getting the visa and how long will it take us to get it?

Mr.Rollie,

From Tsim Sha Tsui, Nathan Road,what is the best mode of transport going to Hung Hom, bus or MTR and how much?

The best mode must be taxi. It can save you some time. And you can get to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station and then walk to East Tsim Sha Tsui Station. Then take West Rail Line from East Tsim Sha Tsui to Hung Hom. The MTR ticket fare is HK$4.5 and takes about 3 minutes.

When we get to Lohu (is it the same with Lo Wu?) where we can apply our visa for 1 day tour at Shenzhen? What are the requirements we need to bring? What are the processes in getting the visa and how long will it take us to get it?

Lo Wu is Lohu and Luohu(罗湖). I suggest you apply your visa in your own country. Currently, I’ve heard that it is hard for Filipinos to get Chinese visa.

From Macau, may we know what is the last trip at night going back to Honkong and how much?
You may go to Macau Maritime Terminal or Tai Pa Temporary Terminal to take turboject back to Hong Kong. It takes around 1 hour. For time schedule, please check this page:

We would like to confirm if we take No.329 bus to Shekou Ferry terminal, travel time is only half an hour compared to a taxi which is 1 hour?Did i get it right?How much is the fare if we take bus no.329 fare?

You are right. If you want to catch the ferry, you’d better take a taxi. That will be faster. No. 329 bus fare is less than CNY10.

Mr.Bruce,
I am sorry that I am not familiar with these things in Shenzhen. You know, Shenzhen is a well-developed city. The night life must be exciting there. I guess that you can find bars very easily there.
