| Jun 29, 2015 at 10:49 | comment | added | hippietrail | @Him: That's fine. I'm not trying to or interested in crossing the boundary not at the point of control. Please read the simplified and clarified version of my question and let me know if you still don't understand it. Thanks for the warning I suppose. Let's both not break laws \-: | |

| Jun 29, 2015 at 4:17 | comment | added | Him | @hippietrail The boundary is enclosed by Fence and separated by river, and there is many Hong Kong and Chinese immigration officers patrolling there. Anyone crossing the boundary not in the point of control will be considered as illegal immigration. You will enjoy free residence and food in HK and a free single flight ticket (probably Cathay) to your home country. | |

| Jun 29, 2015 at 3:30 | comment | added | KH.Lee | Technically you can "walk" from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, but after you passed the passport control in Hong Kong, you will find the control point is enclosed by a fence which prevent you from visiting the remaining parts of the Frontier Closed Area. You will need to go into the city, depends on which control point you are using, by bus / train / car. | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 22:59 | comment | added | DJClayworth | If I follow the links from Wikitravel to the official websites of the crossing points, several explicitly talk about crossing on foot. However it very much reads as if you are expected to then take public transport to Hong Kong 'proper'. They all have notes saying (for example) "Lo Wu Control Point is located inside the Frontier Closed Area. Cross-boundary visitor should possess a valid travel document. Non-cross-boundary travelers should possess a valid Closed Area Permit.". Presumably the Frontier Closed area is closed only to those not crossing the border (at least legally). | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 16:40 | comment | added | hippietrail | @Him: When you say you can't cross the "boundary" on foot do you mean that at each and every one of the (is it four?) official border crossing points that crossing on foot is not permitted? Or did you mean that crossing at random places along the border is not permitted? | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 16:29 | comment | added | hippietrail | @Him: I tried to make it clear that I wanted to go anywhere in HK. Whatever destination is cheapest. I know hot to go from Guangzhou to Shenzhen with minimum cost - hitchhiking. Which is partly on foot and partly with friendly strangers in cars and trucks. | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 16:07 | comment | added | hippietrail | I've been hitchhiking in Guangdong with no problems at all. Some ignore, some give you a ride for hundreds of kilometres. The fist rule of hitchhiking is don't take hitchhiking advice from non-hitchhikers (-; (But I've heard that hitching really doesn't work in Hong Kong.) | |

| Jun 28, 2015 at 13:46 | comment | added | Him | @CGCampbell I rated downgraded to DJ answer because he does not answer the question. Actually you cant pass through hk boundary on foot. It is law, not physcial constraints | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 11:22 | comment | added | Him | @jpatokal Cheapest option is different if travel to different destination in HK. If he wanna go to Tin Shui Wai he should go to Shenzhen Bay Control Point, but if he wanna go to Hong Kong airport by coach is as expensive as by ship. | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 11:18 | comment | added | Him | @jpatokal cheapest option is on foot/ make your own boat. | |
| Jun 28, 2015 at 11:01 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | This would be a great answer to a different question, but @hippietrail was specifically asking for the cheapest option. | |
