Yes, you are very likely to get the VOA and are eligible for the 144 policy.

Just to add, that if you plan to enjoy 144 hour visa free transit scheme, you will have to take a ferry from Hong Kong to Shekou port in Shenzhen and after your stay in Guangdong province, you will have to depart by ferry to Macau because under 144 hour visa free transit, you cannot return directly to Hong Kong. Also, if traveling under 144 hour visa free transit, you will have to buy your Shekou to Macau ferry ticket in advance, before your departure to Shenzhen, print it out and have that printout with you. You will also have to take exactly that ferry you have bought your ticket for.

If you decide for 5 days Shenzhen visa on arrival, you are advised to be at Lo Wu / Luohu border crossing at least at 08:30 because the visa office opens at 09:00, to beat the queues. Do not arrive at later time. If traveling on 5 days Shenzhen visa, you are limited to Shenzhen, but you can return from Shenzhen directly to Hong Kong by taking any border crossing or any mean of transport, high speed train included.

Hopefully, until the time when you reach the region, the announced visa free regime for Norwegians for stays of up to 15 days will be implemented. If not, you will rely on one of two describer options.

Åsmund, if your visit happens to be from November 8 or later, you are informed that from that date you can enter China, Shenzhen included, absolutely visa free for a stay of up to 15 days. In other words, you can take a high speed train directly from Hong Kong West Kowloon station to Shenzhen, if you wish.
