AIR passengers arriving in Shenzhen will be able to take a ferry to Zhuhai, on the other side of the Pearl River, with the opening of the service, scheduled for Friday, at Shenzhen Airport Ferry Terminal.

Shenzhen Oceanus Group will run 16 ferry services between the two cities from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. The first ferry will depart from Shenzhen at 8:50 a.m., with the service generally operating at 90-minute intervals.

A single trip takes 60 minutes and costs 125 yuan (US$19) per person.

A bus service linking the Shenzhen airport and the ferry terminal has been arranged. Travelers from Shenzhen to Zhuhai can take Metro Line 11 to the Shenzhen airport and take the commuting bus to the ferry terminal.

Another option is to take Line 11 to Hourui Metro Station and then take bus M419, E16, M419 or M528.
