Shenzhen is the nearest city between the mainland and Hong Kong, and the customs on both sides are the border of Hong Kong. Literally speaking, it should be convenient to visit Hong Kong and choose to live in Shenzhen at night. But whether it is convenient in the actual implementation process depends on the following factors: first, it depends on where to go in Hong Kong. If it's a scenic spot or place near Shenzhen, it's more convenient than Sheung Shui or Fanling, and it doesn't take long to get there through Shenzhen. However, if you are far from the pass, you will have to transfer to the subway two or three times after crossing the pass, which has been walking for several hours. Even if you play, you may not be able to enjoy yourself. Second, it depends on the specific time period of Hong Kong tourism. This time period determines whether it is worthwhile to go to Hong Kong during the day and stay in Shenzhen at night. According to my personal experience of going to Hong Kong three or four times a year, there are many people on holidays, especially around Christmas and Spring Festival. The customs clearance time from Shenzhen to Luohu and Futian in Hong Kong usually exceeds two hours. Moreover, if you choose a hotel near the gateway in Shenzhen, the cost is not much cheaper than that in Hong Kong, and you spend too much time and energy on customs clearance, personally, it is not worth the candle. Third, the specific number of days to visit Hong Kong is normal. If you sign a personal tour in Hong Kong, a visa is generally a two-way opportunity, that is, you will go to Hong Kong on the first day and stay in Shenzhen at night; I went to Hong Kong the next day and used my visa twice when I went back to Shenzhen in the evening. On the third day, you can't go through customs from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, so you have to apply for a new visa. This is also a very important factor. If you have a trip and go through customs and visas repeatedly, I don't think there should be any convenient explanation. Personally feel inconvenient, it is better to live directly in Hong Kong. First, it's too much trouble for you to live in Shenzhen. The number of endorsements will be used again the next day, because it is also a cost to brush the endorsements again every time you enter Hong Kong, and it is troublesome and a waste of time to go back and forth by subway. Secondly, Hong Kong also has cheap accommodation. Although accommodation in Hong Kong is generally more expensive than that in the mainland, and the place where you live is small, you can also find a good price/performance ratio. I can talk about my life experience in Hong Kong. I recently went to Hong Kong and stayed there for two nights. One night, I stayed at the Youth Travel Agency. On the top of the mountain, the surrounding environment is very good and quiet, and the landscape is very good. But the room is not satisfactory, so we can only put down the bed and a small table, and provide nothing else. Bathrooms and showers are all outdoor and public. The house below is where I lived, and the price is more than 300. Personally, I don't think so. I am very satisfied with my stay the next day. This is a very prosperous area, next to the Tsim Sha Tsui subway station. Although the room is small, it basically has everything, such as slippers, refrigerator, TV, safe, mineral water, hair dryer and so on. There is also a separate bathroom. Stay 280 nights on non-holidays and spend more on holidays such as Friday 100. Actually, it's ok to stay for one night. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned. So if you don't want to go back and forth between Hong Kong and Shenzhen every day, and the accommodation requirements are not particularly high, it is recommended to find a cost-effective accommodation in Hong Kong for one night. After all, it takes a lot of time and money to go back and forth. It must be inconvenient. Unless you plan to go to Hong Kong for half a day, you will leave the country after the customs, and you need a pass to re-enter. But I don't understand why I want to live in Shenzhen, and accommodation in Hong Kong is not expensive. Of course, if you want to stay in Hong Kong like a single room in the Mainland, it will be difficult without a 500-600 yuan bed, but if you are willing to give up a bed in a youth hostel, the cheapest bed for one night will be less than RMB in 80 yuan, and it is still in the bustling area of Sham Shui Po. The slightly better international youth hostel has a bed of around 150 yuan, and the air-conditioned rooms are quite spacious. Even in the youth hostel in Tsim Sha Tsui, there are beds of more than RMB 100, and the airport bus stop is downstairs, which is located in the downtown area. In fact, many people think that accommodation in Hong Kong is very expensive. Indeed, if you want a room like our domestic hotel chain, even if it costs 800 yuan, it may not be that big in Hong Kong. After all, it is a sparsely populated place, but there are many expensive accommodations and many cheap accommodations in Hong Kong. Generally speaking, youth hostels can't be said to be excellent, but they can't be said to be poor. If a family can't live in a youth hostel, they can try to live in a homestay, because it is not cheap to calculate the number of people in a family according to the number of heads and beds. Some homestays cost about four or five hundred yuan. Besides, Hong Kong has convenient transportation. If you don't live in a busy area, the cost of accommodation will be lower. As long as there are no public holidays in Hong Kong, the general accommodation expenses will not be very high. Hotels in Hong Kong can be expensive, but there are many cheap hotels. Therefore, if you plan to stay for a few days, you may wish to make a reservation in advance. The earlier you book on the reservation network, the lower the price. If you book tomorrow today, it will be much more expensive, especially in the peak season. There are basically no good houses, so planning in advance is very important. Hi, I am a vegetarian who walks the world, a foodie who loves to travel, is a vegetarian and doesn't like thinking! Like my article, welcome to share! I live in Shenzhen Futian Social Security Bureau. More than 200 hotels a night. Pass Futian Port in the morning, take the subway to Jiandong, and then transfer to Tsim Sha Tsui. I walked from the Avenue of Stars to Harbour City. After sightseeing, I crossed the sea by ferry to Wan Chai Pier. Here I can go to the Mid-Levels, Causeway Bay, Bauhinia Square and so on. Go to Lan Kwai Fong for a drink in the evening. After drinking, I walked to Wan Chai Pier, took a bus to Huanggang Port and went back to the hotel to sleep! It was definitely inconvenient in the past, but with the opening of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail on September 23rd, sleeping in Shenzhen at night and playing in Hong Kong during the day is a very good plan! After all, hotels in Shenzhen are much more cost-effective than those in Hong Kong! Scheme 1: Stay in a hotel near Shenzhen North Railway Station at night. Here are some good hotels. The first one is the Vienna International Hotel in the West Square of Shenzhen North Railway Station: you don't have to worry about the noise caused by this hotel's proximity to high-speed railway station. Moreover, the rooms here are very large and spacious, so you don't have to squeeze into such a small room in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It's inconvenient for you to say that the high-speed train will arrive in Kowloon in half an hour from here! Option 2: You can stay in a hotel near Futian high-speed railway station at night, but the hotels here are mainly high-star hotels, and the prices are generally higher than those in 800 yuan. Choices are: Kaierboro Good Days Hotel, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel: Of course, there are also theme apartments with high cost performance, and Hangu theme apartment is recommended, only 288 yuan per night. Is this a good deal? Summary: the opening of the high-speed rail has accelerated the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and all the problems that were inconvenient before have been solved! After all, it only takes 14 minutes to take the high-speed train from Futian to Kowloon, and you have to have a cup of tea! Are you ready? If you are playing for more than two days, it is still recommended to stay in Hong Kong for one night. Because you have to spend time and energy returning to Shenzhen from Hong Kong, and don't forget to count the transportation expenses on the road. If you take the MTR to return to Lo Wu, it costs 40+HKD for a person to go back and forth, because Lo Wu (Lok Ma Chau)-Sheung Shui is the starting point, so it is particularly expensive. Taking a taxi in Hong Kong is also very expensive, so it is better to stay in Hong Kong for one night. Like I went to Hong Kong from Guangzhou for two days before, I took Guangzhou-Shenzhen to Luohu early in the morning, went directly to the subway after passing the customs, and stayed in a hotel in Yau Ma Tei for one night. Put all my luggage in the hotel the next day, then go to play, then take the subway back to Lok Ma Chau in the evening and stay in the youth hostel near Futian subway station in Shenzhen ~ If I go back to Shenzhen at night, remember to reserve time to go back. The last flight back to the border in east rail line, I remember it was around 9: 40 pm. If you want to play for two days, calculate your approximate transportation expenses. It is recommended to buy a two-day pass on Taobao. Although Shenzhen is close to Hong Kong, I personally don't think it is necessary to spend the night in Shenzhen. I suggest spending the night in Hong Kong. There are two main points. 1. Too much trouble. Although it is very close, I think it is quite troublesome. At the same time, I think it is a waste of time. Going through customs and taking the subway back and forth is tiring and time-consuming. It's best to find some cheap and simple hotels in Hong Kong. I can make do for one night and play the next day. After all, I came out to play, not to enjoy it. I can make do with it I mainly play. 2. If you spend the night in Shenzhen and return to Hong Kong the next day, you have to sign an endorsement when you enter the country, which wastes the number of endorsements again. Personally, I don't think it is necessary. Tell me about my experience last year: the two of us went, stayed in Hong Kong for the night, and booked a hotel in 300 yuan, with an average of 150 per person. This price is quite cost-effective. I suggest that it is best to have a companion, which is cost-effective, safe and takes care of everything. If you don't let it go, you may be fine in Sha Tin. Go to Causeway Bay or something far away and want to die by car. Their railway is so slow that they can stay for one night without taking a taxi. It won't be cheap if you want to come. It costs money to live in Shenzhen, which is convenient. Because the subject's question is not very specific, in Tiaoniu's view, convenience depends on many factors, such as where to go to Hong Kong and how many days to play ... Let's sort it out according to different situations. One: Before starting the Shenzhen-Hong Kong customs clearance port, please introduce the Shenzhen customs clearance port passing through Hong Kong. Under normal circumstances, most people will choose these five ports to leave the country: Luohu Port, Futian Port, Huanggang Port, Shenzhen Bay Port and Wenjindu Port. The opening hours of each port and the way to enter the urban area of Hong Kong after customs clearance are different. The specific information has been listed in the table for your comparison ~ ~ Second, it is more convenient to travel to and from Hong Kong on the same day-it is more convenient to live in Shenzhen. It is entirely possible for the round-trip passengers on the same day to live near the Shenzhen port the night before and pass the customs the next morning. Tiaoniu suggested that everyone start from Luohu Port, because after the customs clearance at Luohu Port, you can take the subway directly, and the traffic is more convenient. And there are many accommodation conditions to choose from near the port, and the price is also very affordable. 1There are more than 100 hotels in 50 yuan for one night. If it's a one-day tour, Tiaoniu suggests that everyone get up as soon as possible, so that they can leave more time for sightseeing. For example, get up at 6 o'clock and arrive at the port at 7 o'clock. It takes about 30 minutes to get through the customs, that is, it will arrive in Hong Kong at 7: 30, and then take the East Rail to Hung Hom terminus. At this time, the time is about 9 o'clock, and then you can go to Tsim Sha Tsui-Taiping Mountain-Victoria Harbour and other places to play. Remember to finish the activity before 9: 30 pm, and then take the subway back to Luohu Port, otherwise you will miss the last bus in east rail line. 3. Two-day tour in Hong Kong and above-it is recommended to live in Hong Kong. If you are traveling for more than two days, it is not recommended that you travel to and from Shenzhen every day. In fact, living in Hong Kong will be more convenient and economical. Let's take a two-day tour+going in and out from Luohu Port as an example, and give you a comparative explanation from four aspects. There are five kinds of travel endorsements in Hong Kong, which are once every three months, twice every three months, once every 1 year, twice every 1 year, and multiple endorsements every 1 year (Shenzhen hukou only). Stay in Hong Kong or Macao for no more than 7 days at a time, and an endorsement can only enter and leave the country once. There is a rigid requirement for endorsement. If you travel for two days, you can still apply for a second valid endorsement of 40 yuan, but if you travel for three days or more, I'm sorry you can't do that. Some people may say that since I can make a two-day tour endorsement, it is also very cost-effective for me to come back to Shenzhen to live. Don't worry, let's take a look at Tiaoniu and settle an account with everyone. After comparing the accounts, we can find that living in Hong Kong is actually cheaper. If you live in Shenzhen, it takes 30 minutes from the import and export shore, 45 minutes from Luohu Port to Hung Hom Wharf, and two days on the road 150 minutes, two and a half hours! I have to get up early to catch the customs clearance, and step on the spot at night to catch the last subway back. But if you live in Hong Kong, for example, near Hung Hom main station, you only need to go in and out of Hong Kong once, which saves more than half the time and gives you a lot of time to play. From the above comparison, we can easily see that living in Hong Kong is obviously more economical and convenient, which saves us more time to enjoy the scenery of Hong Kong. 4. Hong Kong Accommodation Tips When choosing a hotel, Tiaoniu suggested that you choose to live in Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Jordan. This is a traditional residential area in Hong Kong, and it is also a concentrated place of cheap hotels in Hong Kong. Besides, subways, trains, buses and night lines all pass through Mong Kok, and the traffic is very convenient. Moreover, I want to remind everyone that the hotel room area in Hong Kong is smaller than that in the Mainland. The hotel room area is more than 7 square meters, and the high-end hotel room area is about 20 square meters. Fourth, the mode of transportation to Hong Kong is actually 80 12 now, and there are many more modes of transportation to Hong Kong. Besides living in Shenzhen and going through customs, there are more options. Here, Tiaoniu has compiled a form for everyone to see: It is worth mentioning that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway will be officially put into operation on September 23rd. Because Beijing-Guangzhou, Hangfushen, Shanghai-Kunming and Guiguang passenger dedicated lines are connected, 38 cities along the way can take the high-speed train to Hong Kong directly! There are 12 stations in Shaoguan, Shanwei and Shantou, Guangdong Province. There are 26 stations outside the province, including Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, Guilin, Guiyang, Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Fuzhou and Xiamen. Therefore, no matter how many days you travel, if the main body is in a city along the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail, you can consider taking the high-speed rail directly to Hong Kong West Kowloon Station instead of staying in Shenzhen for one night and then clearing customs the next day. The above is all the answers given by Tiaoniu. Please correct me if there is any bias. Now that everyone has seen this place, let's order a compliment before we go ~
