*If you need assistance with transportation from the airport to the hotel, please contact Yingzhi (wuyz@mail.sustech.edu.cn) in advance.
Hong Kong is close to Shenzhen (1-hour shuttle) and we will arrange pickups from Hong Kong International Airport to the SUSTech campus/Hotel on September 1. We will also make arrangements for you to return to the airport after the workshop. Generally, there is no need for a separate visa for Hong Kong, but we suggest checking the visa conditions for your nationality.
2. Arrive to Shenzhen by yourself:
If you arrive before 8:00 PM, it might be more convenient to take a ferry boat (click here) to Shenzhen Shekou. This way, there is no need to pass through Hong Kong immigration and your checked luggage can be transfered to the ferry boat for free (Remember go to E2 courter luggage hanging to shenzhen!). Then you can easily get to SUSTech/Hotel from Shekou port by taxi (about 40 minutes ride for about 70 RMB).
Note: Please, make sure that you get about 100 RMB cash as taxi drivers in Shenzhen do not accept credit cards. If you need reimbursement, please ask the driver for an invoice and keep it.
In general, foreign credit cards are not widely accepted in Shenzhen, but there are many ATMs with VISA/Mastercard logo, where one can withdraw cash with foreign debit/credit cards.
SHENZHEN AIRPORT TO SUSTECH
We will arrange pickups from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport to the SUSTech campus/Hotel on September 1. We will also make arrangements for you to return to the airport after the workshop.
2. Arrive to the Hotel by yourself:
From the Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, you can take the Shenzhen Metro or a Taxi to get to SUSTech.
No matter which way you choose, you can first get to the Ground Transportation Center (GTC) of the airport.
There are sign posts in the GTC and you can easily find the metro or the taxi.
(1) If you choose Taxi, when you get off the taxi, remember to ask for the invoice and check if you leave something in the taxi. The normal fees are 75-100 CNY.
(2) If you don't have heavy luggage, you can choose Metro (click here).Take maroon Line 11 to Qianhaiwan(前海湾) followed by purple Line 5 is pretty convenient too, but it takes longer (50 min, 7 CNY). Get off at Tanglang (塘朗)on Line 5 and there remains a short 10 min walk to the campus.
Each taxi driver should have GPS on their phone and normally uses it. Make sure the meter is on, and ask for a receipt when you get off so that in case you forgot your belongings it'd be quick to get them back.
SUSTech Gate 1 is close to Tanglang(塘朗) on the purple Line 5.
For change to buy tickets, go to the helping desk at each station.
