    The key is to come at the last minute to breeze by customs and security without lines. For example, if you're taking the KTT 3:38 train to HK, come around 3:20 and you'll make it just fine☺️✌🏼️

    Today (2014.01.22), ticket counters for buying Shenzhen tickets are moved to the East ticket selling room. I don't know if that is permanent or just for today.

    Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train operated by two operators (HK MTR KTT and CRH). Trains operated by KTT are pretty nice.

    If you are holder of foreign passports (non HK) you also can use automatic machine to buy the tickets to Shenzhen not only at ticket office. It's very easy and quick way to do it.

    Easy transit to HK. Go upstairs to 1st floor for tickets and be aware they stop selling tickets 20mins before your train leaves and entry to immigration closes 10mins before departure.

    3 main departure halls: Shenzhen High Speed (future connection to HK), current MTR train to HK, and all other domestic long distance trains.

    E-Taste on the top floor is good for pre train meals. Tasty food which arrives quickly.

    Ticket hall for trains to Hong Kong is on second floor, through security. When changing train tickets to an earlier time, must be at least 30mins. Queue based on tickets original purchase currency.

    Chaotic, rude staff, dirty, no logical plans whatsoever … so just your typical Chinese railway station.

    For HK bound trains, you can buy beer at the little coffee shop that's past immigration! Also, watch out for pickpockets!!!

    If you travelling to Shenzhen travel by First Class. Unless you like to hear locals snorting and spitting. ¥99.50 to Shenzhen .

    It's kinda confusing that the names of the metro station is almost identical to this railway station and they are connected.

    Buy tickets to HK at least a day before. Extremely likely to be sold out if bought on the day!

    Almost like a European train station, avoid taking taxis from the people at the exit, they will charge you a lot more than fair.

    Do not throw away your ticket if you're on CRH , cuz you'll need them to tab out the station , otherwise you're gonna receive a 99 RMB penalty .

    Bathrooms are NASTY. You're better off waiting and doing your business on the train, where the restrooms are actually much nicer.
