Hong Kong West Kowloon Station: The High-Speed Rail Hub
The journey begins at Hong Kong West Kowloon Station (香港西九龍站), the sole HSR station in Hong Kong and the southern terminus of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link.
The station provides both short-haul services to destinations such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Jiangmen, and Xiamen, and long-distance routes to major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Hangzhou. Recent additions, such as the high-speed overnight sleeper trains to Shanghai and Beijing, further expand connectivity, linking Hong Kong directly to over 80 cities across mainland China.
A key advantage for Hong Kong travellers is the Co-location Arrangement in place at West Kowloon Station, which means you complete both Hong Kong and Mainland China Hong Kong to Shenzhen train immigration procedures within the same building before boarding. This streamlined process significantly reduces travel time.
For those considering other options, the Hong Kong to Shenzhen MTR (East Rail Line to Lo Wu/Lok Ma Chau) is an alternative, but the High-Speed Rail provides superior speed and connectivity to Shenzhen's major HSR hub.
Shenzhen North High-Speed Railway Station: A Major Interchange
Shenzhen North Railway Station, often referred to simply as the "North Station" by locals, is a critical transportation nexus. Located in Longhua District, Shenzhen, it is a major junction where several key rail lines converge: the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR, the Xiamen–Shenzhen Railway, the Ganzhou–Shenzhen HSR, and the future Shenzhen–Zhanjiang Railway.
The station is also an integrated public transit interchange, serving as a transfer centre for Shenzhen Metro Lines 4, 5, and 6, and accommodating long-distance coaches, taxis, and city buses. As a key station at the southern end of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR line, Shenzhen North originates some Guangzhou–Shenzhen services and cross-line trains on the Beijing–Guangzhou HSR.
