A visa and special ticket is required to travel to Lo Wu station and into Shenzhen. The KCR runs every 3 to 10 minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 12:20 a.m., and the maximum fare is HK$33. For KCR inquiries, call 2602 7799. The LR runs daily from 5:40 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. between the New Territories towns of Tuen Mun and Yuen Long. Fares range from HK$4 to HK$5.80.

Hong
Kong's main rail systems include the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), the Kowloon-Canton
Railway (KCR) East Rail, and the Light Rail (LR).
Buses
are ample in Hong Kong. The final destinations of both double-decker and
regular buses are marked in English and Chinese on the front top panel.
Operation times are from 6 a.m. to midnight, and fares are considerably
low from HK$1.20 to HK$45. It is advisable to prepare the exact fare to
make it easier for bus attendants, as well as not to hold the queue when
boarding the bus. Bus drivers are typically not fluent in English, and
it is better to find your routes from hotel staff or someone who speaks
your language before attempting to take the bus.
