Shenzhen First Day: Airport or border to hotel
Use the transport connection for your actual arrival point. Airport station, Futian Checkpoint and Luohu start on different metro lines; compare their full routes to your hotel.
Updated · Editorial approach
What to do
- 1
From SZX, compare Line 11 from Airport station with the official taxi queue or confirmed pickup. The best option depends on the hotel station, luggage and current service.
- 2
From Futian Checkpoint, check Lines 4 and 10 against the hotel route. This is not Futian station.
- 3
From Luohu, check Line 1 and any onward transfer. Read the direction and final station rather than choosing a transfer only by district name.
- 4
For a late arrival, check the checkpoint or airport connection and every onward train. Do not assume the whole metro network closes at one fixed time.
- 5
For a taxi, confirm the Chinese hotel address, payment and local fare basis before departure. Check the current pickup location if booking through an app.
Double-check before you rely on this
