arriving in shenzhen at 2ami have to catch a train departs at 7am at main railway

Question

I want to get a phone sim card but the stores only opens at 5:30am. Would it be possible if I were to wait till 5:30 to get a sim card and then grab a taxi or use didi to get to the train station and be on time? Or should I get the sim card before I arrive at the airport? Also, aside from a passport and a Chinese visa, are there any other documents that I need to bring? Thanks!

It takes about 70 mins from the airport to the railway station by taxi, so I'm afraid time is too tight if you depart after 5:30 since you need to arrive at the station at least 40 mins in advance. It is suggested to get a sim card before you arrive at the airport and no other documents are needed.
