Shenzhen enjoys convenient transport routes with good air, rail and road links to most major Chinese cities. Hong Kong is also very accessible and less than a one-hour train trip.

By plane:
There are plenty of domestic flight routes and some international routes operate in and out of Shenzhen International Airport which is one of China's busiest airports. There are daily flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and many other destinations throughout China . International flights go to Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta and various other destinations.
The airport is located 32 km west of the city and a shuttle bus operates between here and East Shennan Rd in the city centre.

Shenzhen lies at the intersection of the rail routes between Beijing-Kowloon, Beijing-Guangzhou and Guangzhou-Kowloon and trains to Guangzhou operate frequently. The rail line (the KCR) to Hong Kong is also extremely convenient. The train station is right on the Hong Kong Border on Jianshe Rd.

By road:
An expressway runs through Shenzhen to Guangzhou and also to Shantou in the west. There are buses connecting Shenzhen with Guangzhou regularly and the trip takes about two hours. There are also long distance buses to Shantou and Chaouzhou. The long distance bus station is next to the train station and the bus station for Guangzhou is to the east of the railway station. The bus trip from Shenzhen to Hong Kong takes about one and half an hour and buses leave throughout the day.
