Shenzhen & the Greater Bay Area

Across the border in an hour or so: Shenzhen's business districts, and Guangzhou beyond, by car, train or bridge.

Information

Border traffic: allow extra time during Golden Week

Expect longer queues at land crossings during the National Day Golden Week holiday (1–7 October). Book early departures and allow extra time in both directions.

Shenzhen starts where Hong Kong's northern edge ends. Several land crossings link the two, and a bridge runs west across the estuary to Zhuhai and Macau.
