Travel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong is becoming easier, with nine border points currently available along with two new high speed train station cross border points.
This article gives an overview of those border crossing possibilities, in an effort to make it easier to cross.
To travel between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, passengers need to pass through customs at one of 11 "ports" or border control areas.
The two busiest ports of entry to Hong Kong are the Luohu Border Crossing and the Huanggang Border Crossing. However, and probably in explanation of why they are the busiest, these two border crossings have direct access to the Hong Kong subway on the Hong Kong side.
It is also important to note that a new train between Kowloon West and Shenzhen's Futian Border opened in 2018.
