Onward to Shenzhen from Hong Kong
Immediately north of Hong Kong, Shenzhen offers a mainland continuation centred on rapid urban change. Plan the cross-boundary journey and the district you want to reach together.

Keep exploring Hong Kong with our travel partners.
Shenzhen helps explain how the Pearl River Delta changed during China’s economic reforms. A market town on the Kowloon–Canton Railway became a city in 1979 and a Special Economic Zone in 1980. Its development through foreign investment, technology and finance offers a different historical lens from Hong Kong’s older trading port.
Useful to know
Choose a Shenzhen destination before comparing cross-boundary rail and land crossings.
Verify entry requirements for your passport and the crossing you intend to use; check your Hong Kong return arrangements too.
