It is operated by Hong Kong International Airport Ferry Terminal Services Limited, a joint-venture company of Chu Kong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd and Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management Limited. At this pier, passengers abroad can transit from Hong Kong International Airport to piers in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China, or vice-versa, without immigration and customs clearance through Hong Kong.

  Shekou(Chinese:蛇口)
  Shekou is an area at the tip of Nantou Peninsula in Shenzhen, Guangdong, southern China, south of Nantou and facing Lau Fau Shan of Hong Kong across Deep Bay.
  It was formerly a customs station in Bao’an County and now belongs to Nanshan District of Shenzhen. On 31 January 1979, it became Shekou Industrial Zone developed solely by China Merchants of Hong Kong, earlier than the formation of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

  Dear Sir/Madam
  As long as you have effective visa to Hongkong, you can go to any place you like in Hong Kong, of course, including Skypier ferry terminal.B ut if you want to go to Shekou, you must take an effective visa of China with yourself.

  Shekou = 蛇口

  Dear Simon,

  Once landing,you can take the ferry to fuyong .The ferry
  port is inside the airport,you can see the sign ferry terminal
  or you can ask the airport staff how to get on the ferry.
  Ferry is the most convenient way to fuyong port.However,it seems the ferry service is for transit passengers only. Maybe you can take the coach from Hongkong airport to Shenzhen airport.

  Dear Sir/Madam
  I have consulted relevant person of Shekou Ferry Terminal. They said “foreigners are not allowed to transact visa on arrival in Shekou. If you need a visa, you can go directly to Travel Agencies in Honng Kong or the OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIS OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATION REGION” to apply for it when you arrive in Hong Kong.
  Hong Kong 90 days visa-free policies for American, so you don’t need to worry about the visa to Hong Kong. You can fly directly from the United States to Hong Kong.

  Dear Connie,
  Thank You very much for Your quick response. I wish I was citizen of USA, but I am citizen of THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA. Is there Hong Kong free visa policy for Armenians too?
  Also I am interested in starting fast food bussines in Shenzhen. I would be very grateful, if You could provide any information about requirements.
  Thank You very much.

  Hi Armen,
  Sorry for making a stupid mistake. ARMENIA people are required to hold a VISA when entering into Hong Kong, except in direct transit by air and when the person does not leave the airport transit area.

  Fast good business in Shenzhen is really big. There are KFC,McDonald,Kungfu,,Pizzahut,Yonghe King，Burger King and many local restaurants as well.

  In my opinion, you need to consider two factors when opening the fast food business, one is the location and the other is the customer base.

  Hope it’ll do you some help.

  Connie
