How To Get To Shenzhen From Hong Kong

Looking to travel from Hong Kong to Shenzhen? The quickest and most comfortable option is the high-speed train departing from West Kowloon Railway Station, but you can also easily get to the city by bus.

high speed rail hong kong train to shenzhen, how to get to shenzhen, day guide

High-Speed Rail From West Kowloon

To take the high-speed train from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, begin at West Kowloon Station. Purchase tickets to Futian Station (Shenzhen’s Central Business District) in advance online or at the station, choosing between Second ($75), First ($120), Premium ($134) or Business Class ($224).

At the station, proceed through ticket checks, security and immigration for both Hong Kong and Mainland China in one location — if you don’t have your Mainland Travel Permit, you can also apply for a visa on arrival at the Shenzhen border. Once cleared, board your designated train for the quick, 20-minute ride directly to Futian Station.

Hong Kong Public Transport & Coach Services

Taking a bus or coach is a budget-friendly and flexible way to travel to Shenzhen. Just note that the journey can take up to three hours depending on your starting point, chosen border crossing and traffic. To take a bus to Shenzhen, you have two options:

Book A Cross-Border Express Coach

These depart regularly from major hubs in Hong Kong (Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok) directly to Shenzhen ports or city centres. Operators like Eternal East (永東直巴) and CTS (環島旅運) run these services, with prices ranging from $80 to $150. Once on board, you’ll remain on the same bus, but must get off twice to clear immigration.

Take Public Transport To The Border & Transfer

This is the most affordable method. You can take public buses like B1 from Yuen Long (to Lok Ma Chau Station) to enter the Futian Port or Bus 73K (to Lo Wu Station) for the Luohu Port. Alternatively, the MTR East Rail Line will take you directly to either port. Once you cross the border, use Shenzhen’s metro or taxis.

Picasso: Beauty and Drama — An exhibition that enriches Macau’s growing cultural scene

Step into the world of a true master at Picasso: Beauty and Drama! This landmark exhibition is more than a showcase — it’s an immersive journey through the life, love and limitless creativity of Pablo Picasso.

Featuring over 140 original works spanning paintings, ceramics, manuscripts and illustrations, the collection is spread across seven thoughtfully curated galleries. Each space unveils a different chapter of Picasso’s extraordinary life: from the women whose presence shaped both his art and emotional landscape, to the raw symbolism of bullfighting in Spanish culture and his deeply personal response to his homeland.

Presented for the first time in Macau, Picasso: Beauty and Drama is a cultural milestone that brings the legendary artist’s work closer to audiences in Asia. Beyond simply viewing, visitors are invited to connect with Picasso’s genius in a way that’s intimate and thought-provoking — whether you’re a seasoned art lover or discovering his legacy for the first time.

Running until 26 October 2025, the exhibition cements Macau’s place as not just a leisure destination but a cultural hub, where world-class art meets the city’s dynamic spirit. Don’t miss your chance to experience it for yourself!

From supplement multipacks to frozen American classics, Costco has everything you need in life (not being dramatic). Thankfully, the superstore’s branch in Shenzhen means that Sassy is here to highlight all the food, lifestyle, electronics and even camping gear you absolutely cannot miss.

Now, the hype has settled (a little), but the deals are still unbeatable. With its single-floor layout featuring a mix of American and Chinese products, Shenzhen Costco is worth a trip across the border. Sassy tried-and-approved, this is our guide on what to buy, how to shop smart and the hidden gems you won’t want to miss at Shenzhen Costco. So clear out your freezer space, pack a suitcase and read on to discover more!

Costco aisles how to get there Sassy Guide

Getting there (and getting it all home)

Costco Shenzhen is open daily from 9am to 9pm, and many Hong Kongers can head over via tour buses or private cars arranged exclusively just for Costco runs, or by taking public transport. The fastest and most convenient method to travel to China is via the High-Speed Rail from Hong Kong West Kowloon Station to Shenzhen North Station, which takes under 30 minutes. Other options include the MTR (Metro) via the East Rail Line to the Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau border crossings, or a ferry from Hong Kong Sheung Wan or the airport to Shekou Port. Once in Shenzhen, use Shenzhen Metro Line 4 or Line 6 to reach Hongshan Station.

If you’re worried about how to lug everything back, look for the SF Express stall near the garage — they’ll pack and ship your haul back home, often the same or next day. And yes, their shipping limits basically don’t exist.

Sassy Tip: They only speak Mandarin, so prepare a translation app or brush up on your Chinese skills! Don’t forget to have your home address ready in Chinese.

While this rotates, you can always expect daily essentials (especially in Hong Kong, where the weather is pretty consistently hot all year round!) From sunscreen and handheld fans (yes, Hong Kong daily essentials) to umbrellas in every style (again, Hong Kong essentials), Shenzhen Costco makes the perfect trip for a Hong Konger. Plus, you’ll also see year-round supplies like camping chairs and water activity gear (like goggles and swimming rings!) for your next beach day or hike!

Costco Shenzhen camera bundles DJI Osmo

Electronics & Gadgets — Camera bundles and electronic staples

The electronics section is surprisingly strong, with great pricing on electronics and camera bundles. From door cameras (~¥2,800) to the infamous vlogging camera, the DJI Osmo, Costco’s electronic section is not only well-stocked, but up-to-date on the latest gadgets. For those who like filming on the go, various bundles of Insta360 cameras are available starting from ¥3,000.  We also recommend checking out the Anker 100W wall charger — with three ports, it’s like an extension cable, without the trip-hazard wire!

Plus, for the singers and karaoke fanatics, you can even invest in your very own Karaoke machine for at-home singing without the hefty price (soundproofing sold separately).

Sassy Tip: Everything is plug-compatible for China, so you may need some extra adapters for use in Hong Kong or abroad!

Costco clothing Adidas tracksuits and Kirkland staples

Clothing Deals — Looking good on a budget

Costco’s clothing aisles are basically a fashion treasure hunt. You’ll find the Kirkland Signature line, which delivers affordable basics that are surprisingly good quality, alongside branded outlet-style pieces that feel straight out of a TJ Maxx haul — think Adidas tracksuits, sneakers, socks and more. Stock rotates quickly, so if you spot something you love, don’t wait — because chances are it won’t be there next time (but that’s just an excuse for you to go back again!)

Costco Shenzhen pantry staples and large multipacks

Pantry Staples & Paper Goods — Laundry capsules and Samsonite luggage sets

When it comes to home supplies, Shenzhen Costco does not disappoint. Stocking up on household staples at Shenzhen Costco is a no-brainer — especially if you’ve got the storage space. Paper towels and toilet paper come in giant packs that’ll keep you covered for ages, while the nuts, dried fruit and supplements are sold in mega multipacks perfect for families (or serious snackers).

You’ll spot Glasslock tempered glass food storage sets (around ¥200) and Pyrex dish sets that are of solid value. Plus, our Sassy Team loves to stock up on laundry capsules in bulk!

For bigger-ticket finds, the Costco-exclusive Samsonite three-piece luggage sets (around ¥1,000) are a complete steal compared to retail.

And if you’re the outdoorsy type, don’t skip the camping tents, folding chairs and reinforced cooler bags!

Don’t skip the pet section either — it’s full of Kirkland-branded food and toys that’ll make your furry friend just as happy about your Costco run as you are, especially for those of us with larger dogs!

Sassy Tip: If you underestimate how much you’re hauling back, grab a portable cart in-store for just over ¥100 — you can test it and roll it out the same day!

Costco's stunning alcohol selection Quality spirits for a fraction of the price Kirkland Vodka

Costco’s stunning alcohol selection — Quality spirits for a fraction of the price

Costco’s Kirkland Signature alcohol line is the ultimate not-so-secret hack for savvy shoppers. Their vodka is famously produced in the same distillery as Grey Goose, just bottled under the Kirkland name for a fraction of the price. The gin follows the same formula — Bombay Sapphire quality without the hefty price tag. And if you’re into wine or spirits, keep an eye out for vintage bottles and premium liquor, which are often sold here at prices you’d never find in regular retail.

Health Food — Chinese medicine and supplements for daily snacking

The frozen aisle at Shenzhen Costco is absolute heaven for anyone craving American comfort food.

Fresh Food & Bakery Finds — Rotisserie chickens and decadent desserts

The fresh food and bakery section at Shenzhen Costco is where the real feasting begins. You’ll find party-size tiramisu, massive birthday cakes, sushi platters and the iconic rotisserie chicken (at just ¥40, it’s even better value than some Hong Kong Lunch Sets!) alongside cooked ribs and party trays that make party entertaining effortless. Seasonal bakes are a must-try too, with pistachio croissants, matcha or durian cream puffs and even a decadent durian cheesecake (if you dare!). For the savoury fans, Costco-sized prosciutto trays and hefty cheese blocks (look out for gems like Drunken Goat) are unbeatable for the price and ideal for tapas nights.

Sassy Tip: The fresh fruit is incredible, but tricky to bring back across the border, so best to enjoy it on the spot!

Food Court Staples — Because you can’t go home without stopping at the food court

Last but definitely not least is the Costco food court, which serves up all the American classics with a few fun local twists. You can dig into huge pizzas with rotating flavours, seasonal goodies like the Korean-inspired bulgogi bake and even buckets of Kirkland crispy fried chicken. Depending on the time of year, you might also spot corn or seafood soups or festive treats like pork mooncakes (not the weirdest one we’ve seen). It’s a Costco tradition to make a stop at the food court, so you must oblige.
