    My Octopus MRT Experience
    Probably the best MTR Transport System in the world. It is massive but as a first-timer, you will never get lost. There are lots of visible signages in the platform.

    TIP: Download the MTR App to get real-time train schedules. This is a time saver.

    Convenient, but beware of being early/on time
    There are immigrations to clear if you are going to Shenzhen from Hong Kong. So it is advisable that you should reach the high speed station in HK early, and that you have your passport ready as well.
    There are no food stalls in the waiting area, so once you pass immigration, you can be hungry if you had not eaten. So eat before you clear immigration!
    Of course, you can also eat in the train, but beware: they much prefer paying by QRCodes/scanning, and if you pay cash, pay exact amount because they do not give change.

    Overall trip was okay, but service standards much to be desired.

    Another high class high speed train service in China
    This is a truly excellent service which, depending the timetable and stops, takes 50- 65 mins fro Kowloon West to Guangzhou South. I pre-book via Trip.com for which I pay a booking fee and then another moderate fee when picking-up my ticket at Kowloon West station. It is important for a first time user to be careful to allow sufficient time for ticket collection, HK and PRC immigration processes. Security is a lot less stressful than for travelling by air. This is in my opinion the best way to go from HK to GZ. Two metro lines operate from Guangzhou South so the notoriously troublesome GZ road traffic may be eliminated or reduced depending on a travellers hinal destination address.
