How to travel between Hong Kong and the Shenzhen North Railway Station - part 1 Using the bus

It is possible and easy to travel from Hong Kong to various destinations in China by high speed trains. From Shenzhen, just over the border, it is possible to reach most key destinations in China. Bullet trains depart from the Shenzhen North Railway Station. There are multiple trains to Beijing and Shanghai but also to the Guilin / Yangshuo area in just a few hours.
In this video we cover the shuttle bus that goes from various point is Hong Kong to the Shenzhen North Railway station (and vice versa). In part 2 of this video, we will show how to do it by subway.
The travel time of the bus is about the same as the subway although the subway in not influenced by the rush hour traffic and has more frequent departures. So the subway is often quicker. The bus is also a bit more expensive but much more comfortable.
For both videos, we picked Tsim Sha Tsui as our destination or point of departure. The total travel time was less than 2 hours:

Cost of the bus 80RMB (about US$12)
