Advisory: the landing entry-visa service counter at Shekou Ferry Customs will be closed at 17:30. For those who are planning to visit the city by ferry and apply for the entry visa, make sure to board the ship at 16:00 at the latest either in Hong Kong or Kowloon.

P.S. a new ferry terminal linking Hong Kong Airport was opened in 2003 to people traveling to or from mainland China via the airport. Passengers here in the airport will be spared Hong Kong Customs and Immigration formalities, according to the HK SAR government.
