How to get to MUJI Hotel Shenzhen?

Once you’ve touched down at the Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, the quickest way to get to MUJI Hotel Shenzhen is to book a private hire vehicle to bring you there. The drive there will take you about 40 minutes.
We took the High Speed Rail from Hong Kong which brought us to Shenzhen in just 15 minutes.
Alternatively, if you’re also touring Hong Kong, you can opt to take the Hong Kong High Speed Rail, which connects Hong Kong to Shenzhen via a quick 15-minute train ride. You can book your tickets via Klook; board the train at Hong Kong West Kowloon train station and alight at Futian station. The hotel is then just another 15-minute drive away.
