More than 40 buses depart every day from 07:50 to 22:10. A ticket costs 90 yuan and the whole journey takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. As the buses also go through downtown Hong Kong, you are advised to set aside 2 hours or more for this journey.

After arriving in Shenzhen Bay Port, get off the bus and pass through the border. The bus you just took will wait for you at the other side of the port and it will take you directly to Hong Kong International Airport.
