Reaching Shēnzhèn is a breeze. Just board the MTR East Rail and ride it to Lo Wu or Lok
Ma Chau; the mainland is 200m away. The first train to Lo Wu/Lok Ma Chau leaves Hung
Hom station at 5.30/5.35am, the last at 11.07/9.35pm, and the trip takes about 44/49
minutes. The border crossing at Lo Wu opens at 6.30am and closes at midnight. The cross-
ing at Lok Ma Chau is open around the clock.

times a day between 7.25am and 8.01pm, returning from that station the same number of
times from 8.19am to 9.32pm. The trip takes approximately two hours. One-way tickets cost
