BC Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I appologize in advance if there is already an answer to this. I have searched. And then searched some more, and truly can't find much help with this... We are two friends travelling to Hong Kong in beginning of march. We have decided to take two days (one night) in Shenzhen, but can't figure out how to get to Knight Valley the best and quickest way. The second day we have decided to spend in Happy Valley Shenzhen. Someone wrote in their trip report that the best way is to go to the metro nearest to Knight Valley and then take a cab the rest of the way. Is this recommended? Someone else said there was a bus from HK straight to Knight Valley, but which number and from where exactly? If we start by going to Knight Valley, then head to Shenzhen for an overnight, would it be possible to catch a cab the whole way back from Knight Valley to Shenzhen? Using a taxi calculator online makes it seem quite cheap considering the distance (approx. $25). Since we are also doing the parks in HK and doing a day at Ocean Kingdom (including Mysterious Island if we have time), we HAVE to do some parks over a weekend. We are planning to do the two in Shenzhen saturday and sunday, but I am starting to think we should change this since so many people are moaning about the poor operation at the Shenzhen parks. As an alternative, would Ocean Park be bad to do on a saturday or sunday? And something else that we considered was that going to Knight Valley and Happy Valley during a weekend would be safer bet in terms of Wood Coaster and Bullet Coaster being open... Any tips and directions are much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubysparkles Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was just looking this up, do you already have your visa for mainland? You can actually get a direct bus from Hong Kong to OCT East which is the big complex that has Knight Valley within. http://www.prdguide.com/search/Hong%20Kong/to/OCT%20East Going to Shenzhen at the weekend would mean the queues at the border will be much longer. I was planning on going down to the bus operator after work today to see if I can book tickets, so if I get any more info on the bus I will post it here. In my experience, I would say that Sunday is a busier day than Saturday at the theme parks in Hong Kong because so many people work on Saturdays here.

BC Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks for your help. Yes, we have visas already, so the bus directly from HK to OCT sounds like a great option. We are staying by Tsim Sha Tsui station. Do you know where the bus leaves from and where we should by the tickets? How does it work with the bus and border control then? Does the bus just wait while we go through customs? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubysparkles Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It says Shanghai Street Mong Kok, a couple of MTR stops away from TST. I haven't taken this bus yet but it's run by Eternal East bus company. The website is all Chinese for the schedules, I would ring them to make sure there are still coaches that go there (and hope for an employee that speaks English).
