Direct answer
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). High-speed rail connects to mainland China (Shenzhen: 15 min, Guangzhou: 45 min).
What to know
- ●Compare the complete door-to-door journey rather than flight or train time alone.
- ●Confirm the exact airport terminal or railway station because many Chinese cities have several.
- ●Allow enough arrival time to protect a stay of 3-4 days from avoidable transfer stress.
