Shenzhen Bay Port (深圳湾口岸) is the western land crossing between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, in a co-located building: you complete both sides’ inspections in one place. Official Shenzhen government English hours for passengers have been 6:30 a.m. to midnight; cargo has been listed as 24 hours, which is not the same as the passenger hall. On the Shenzhen side, Metro Line 13 serves the port at Exits B and C. On the Hong Kong side the crossing connects toward the northwest New Territories (route coaches and the road to the MTR at a further station — plan the Hong Kong leg, do not assume a metro exit at the door). This is not, on the current official list, a designated 240-hour visa-free transit port.

关键事实
| Hours (official SZ government English) | Passengers 6:30 a.m. to midnight. Cargo 24 hours is not the passenger hall |
|---|---|
| Co-located inspection | ‘Two inspections in one place’ — both sides in one building |
| Shenzhen Metro | Line 13, Exits B and C, for the port |
| Hong Kong side | Road and coach connections into the northwest New Territories; plan the onward ride |
| 240-hour transit | Not a designated 240-hour port on the current list |
Hours, passengers versus cargo
On the Shenzhen Municipal Government’s English checkpoints page, Shenzhen Bay Port passenger hours have been listed as 6:30 a.m. to midnight. Cargo has been listed as 24 hours. Those are different doors. If you are on foot or on a coach, use the passenger hours, and confirm them before a late trip.
The crossing
Shenzhen Bay is a co-located port: “two inspections in one place.” You complete mainland and Hong Kong formalities in one building, which is why some regular crossers prefer it. It does not automatically mean a short queue.
On the Shenzhen side, take Metro Line 13 and use Exits B or C for the port. Follow 口岸 signs. Line 13 is a newer line; if you are coming from Luohu or the airport, you will change. A taxi or DiDi to the port is straightforward if you have luggage or a tight margin.
On the Hong Kong side, this crossing sits in the northwest New Territories, and you should plan the onward leg — a coach, a bus, or a further ride to an MTR station — rather than expecting the Lo Wu experience of stepping into an East Rail concourse. That is the honest trade-off: a compact inspection hall, a less compact Hong Kong exit.
Documents and 240-hour
Passport, and a clear idea of your entry rule, on both sides. Shenzhen Bay is not a designated 240-hour visa-free transit port on the official list we have been following. For that rule, the Shenzhen-area ports have been Bao’an Airport, Shekou, and West Kowloon.
Compare with Luohu (Line 1, Lo Wu, also listed to midnight, often busier) and Futian (Lines 4 and 10, Lok Ma Chau, listed to 10:30 p.m.). The overview is in our border guide. For a genuine 24-hour option, look up the current passenger rules at Huanggang’s joint-clearance hall (opened 12 October 2026) rather than assuming Shenzhen Bay cargo hours apply to you.
常见问题
What time does Shenzhen Bay close for passengers?
The Shenzhen government’s English page has listed 6:30 a.m. to midnight for passengers. The 24-hour figure you may see is for cargo. Confirm before a late crossing.
Which metro line goes to Shenzhen Bay Port?
Line 13, using Exits B or C for the port. Follow the port signs. Line 13 is relatively new; check a current map if your hotel is in a district it does not yet reach well.
Is this a simpler crossing than Luohu?
The co-located inspection can feel more compact: both formalities are in one building. Whether it is faster depends on the queue that day. The Hong Kong onward journey is less ‘step out into an MTR station’ than Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau.
Can I use 240-hour transit here?
Do not plan on it. The designated Shenzhen-area 240-hour ports have been Bao’an Airport, Shekou and West Kowloon.
