guang zhou to HK

hey guys I was wondering, whats the best way to get to HK from Guangzhou airport.
I am flying in pretty soon and just needed a bit of advice, I need to get to CWB
and I'm a bit noob at this.

I've done a search already, I normally land in HK and go from HK to DG and SZ quite easily but never really tried travelling out of GZ

any advice would be great !

thanks in advanced!

This is how I would do it.....

1. Taxi from GZ airport to GZ train station

2. Train from GZ train station to SZ and then cross at Lo Wu.  

3. Sheung Shui to CWB
a) taxi
b) MTR

There are shuttles at the airport, although I have never taken one, and it is a long drive.  Private car is better, but obviously more expensive.

As virginboy said, I suggest taking the train.  At the airport go to the bottom floor and get on the subway.  You want to go to the GZ East train station at the end of subway line 1 (you will have to transfer to line 1).  Buy a ticket to SZ.  Walk accross the border, and then take the metro.

all good suggestions so far

for completeness:  
you can get a through-train from Guangzhou East, which takes you all the way into Hung Hom KCR station in Kowloon. You go through Chinese Immigration control in Guangzhou, and then pass Hong Kong immigration at Hung Hom.   
This through train is a bit more comfortable, and much less hassle if you have luggage, than walking across the border at LoWu.  

Then from Hung Hom KCR to your hotel, take a taxi.  MTR is possible but involves several changes plus a 5 minute walk - again, avoidable hassle unless you're trying to save every $.  Taxi from Hung Hom to CWB is probably around HK$70, and any time outside of the rush-hour will be very fast.

I took a bus once because I dislike changing from train to train, out and in + crowds.

Ticket one way = 200++
Every 30 to 45 mins.
LAst bus 9pm or earlier (i took the noon bus)
Duration: 3 to 4 hrs.  via Shenzhen Bay / Huanggang
Exit 6 or 7 on the Arrival concourse.

Double check other source.

Hmm... The interior condition of China busses vs. China trains...  Plus the horn, starting and stopping, smells...  I'll opt for the train every time.

RICO has bought a flat in Pangyu which i think is 30 minutes taxi ride from Guangzhou a few years back.... Just kinda behind the Gifford Hotel ...  I believe the range of flats is protected by 1000 private security guards and had only one incident a few years back when a guy murdered his wife cause she was having an affair...

I bought the four bedroom flat then and it is run by some tycoon in HK who after this incident fired all 1000 security guys on the spot and rehired new.... LUCKY FOR SOME...Rich fukers....

Even RICO doesn't know how to get to Guangzhou...
