Latest update on 23FEB2012.

Inter-city train services crossing the Hong Kong-China boundary are known as Intercity Through Trains. Currently, Hung Hom Station (Kowloon/Jiulong) is the only station in Hong Kong where passengers can catch these trains. Passengers have to go through immigration and custom inspections before boarding. There are currently three through train routes:

Additionally Lo Wu Station is interchangeable with the Shenzhen Station of CRH intercity train network of the Mainland China across the border, which runs a more frequent services between Shenzhen and Guangzhou, as well as some other cities in China.

However, one needs to take the East Rail Line, one of the metro lines inside the Hong Kong's Metro network (MTR), in order to get to HK downtown from the boundary control point in Lo Wu. A journey from the border to Hung Hom Station takes approximately 40 minutes, and costs $35 HKD ($4.50 USD/ €3.54 / £2.92, from stations in Kowloon, 2nd class).

Two main ferry terminals serve the Hong Kong-China boundary crossing ferries services:

• Macau Ferry Terminal – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
• China Ferry Terminal – Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

and these two ferry terminals are accessible with MTR and local buses services.

Notwithstanding their names, both terminals provide extensive networks of ferry services to Macau and various cities in Guangdong Province. However services from China Ferry Terminal are more frequent and the network towards China is more extensive than its counterpart, while only Macau Ferry Terminal provides a 24 hours ferry service to Macau. Some ferry routes, from/to either Macau or Shenzhen, terminate at Hong Kong International Airport. These are only available at the Skypier, accessible from the departure hall of the airport (as for flight transfers).

Cruise ships also serve Hong Kong. The cruise terminal of Hong Kong – Ocean Terminal – is located at Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon Peninsula.

Hong Kong has convenient cross-border bus services to many cities in Guangdong province including Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Dongguan. Tickets are purchasable either in mainland China or Hong Kong, services and operators vary depending on the exact location and destination of travel. Road connections across boundary check-points are possible and vehicles with specialised licenses are allowed across the border. Several check-points connect with the expressway network of Hong Kong including Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang and Shenzhen Bay Port. Additionally most cross-border buses use these two particular ports on their journey.
