Transportation in Shenzhen

Shenzhen sits on one of China's busiest high-speed rail corridors. Shenzhen North Station (深圳北站) is the primary hub for bullet trains to Guangzhou and onward to destinations across the country. Futian Station, in the city center, serves many of the same lines and saves the trip to the northern outskirts. The Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong Express Rail Link connects Futian directly to West Kowloon, making cross-border day trips smooth. For the Guangzhou run, trains are so frequent and quick that flying is rarely worth the airport overhead. High-speed rail is generally cheaper than flying and competitive on total travel time for destinations within roughly a thousand kilometers. Long-distance buses still serve smaller cities without direct rail links, though for most major routes the train wins on speed and comfort. Compare current options on Omio before you book.
