Shenzhen 深圳

Distinguish Shenzhen North, Futian and the airport. Hong Kong trips need separate border and document planning.

Airport to city

SZX is Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (深圳宝安国际机场). Line 11 serves Airport (T3). Airport East is another station; do not select it just because its name contains Airport.
