Getting to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport
Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport lies about 29 km (18 mi) from central Shenzhen, measured in a straight line. Metro Line 11 runs from the Ground Transport Center toward Futian; the city centre lies about 32 km (20 mi) to the southeast, and ferries connect directly with Hong Kong International.
