Ferry from HK airport to Zhongshan

Ferry from HK airport to Zhongshan
Save

My sister will be arriving on an international flight to HK airport at 6:30 pm. First, does she have to pass through HK Immigration/Customs to get to the ferry counter/terminal. Second, if yes, will she have time to catch the last ferry to Zhongshan. Third, I was planning to take the ferry from Zhongshan to HK airport to meet her upon arrival and return with her to Zhongshan. Is this possible, can I meet her at the HK airport ferry terminal/counter and return to Zhongshan with her or will I have to take the ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui terminal to return to Zhongshan?

The last ferry to Zhongshan is 20:30. She does not need to go through HK immigration. So she should have enough time.

You cannot take ferry to Skypier unless you are transiting on a flight out of HKG. So you can only meet her when she gets to Zhongshan.

You can show her this short official video on the Hong Kong Airport SkyPier service to get familiar with the process:

You can wait for her, probably anxiously so LOL, in Zhongshan.

Just to note: if you want to use the direct ferry from SkyPier, you can not go through immigration, as otherwise you can't use that ferry any more.

Luggage will be collected by airport staff and taken on the ferry, so that she'll get on arrival in Zhongshan.

The only way to meet in Hong Kong would be for you to use the regular ferry, meet at the airport, take transport into the city, and the regular ferry to Zhongshan. Takes a lot more time and effort, and you have to deal with the luggage yourself. Doesn't make much sense to me to do it like that.

The last ferry from HKIA to Zhongshan will depart at 8.30 pm. Your sister needs to arrive at the ferry counter in Transit Zone E2, get the ferry ticket and hand over the baggage tickets to the staff by 7.30 pm (1 hour before the scheduled departure time with the checked baggage. If without, 30 minutes before that).
