I've gotten into HKIA at 10 pm a few times. The shuttle mini-bus goes to DG until 9:00 pm.
In that case, you'd have to know when the Louwu Customs close. I think it's 12 am or a bit before that.
So what I had to do was take the mini-van to the other border (starts with an H, but I forgot the full name). That border is open 24 hours a day.
From there, I could call a private car to take me to DG (approx 200 - 300 rmb). It's high, but when it's 1 am and you really wanna get to DG, it's the only option.
Another time, I took a cab to Louwu and went to a Sauna there. Same thing.
But if you take the Shuttle Train (Airport shuttle) to Hong Kong, you'd have to make a few transfers to get to Louwu. Then from Louwu, you can go to DG.
It's another option, but more 'scenic' and you'd have to transfer a lot more. Plus all the waiting for the trains to come.
To get to DG from HKIA is easy enough. Again, walk to China Coach section, look for E and E (or something comparable), get on the mini-van, and in 2-3 hours, you'll be in DG. You transfer once, but they'll walk you to the next mini-van.
HKIA is awesome to get to where you want. It's truly a great hub to HK and Southern China. | |
