When taking the train from Shanghai to Hong Kong, you gotta pass immigration to leave mainland China and same when arriving in Kowloon (Hong Kong).
The train only stops once in Shenzhen - a special economic zone and one of China fastest booming city - but you can't get out of the train.

First impression of Hong Kong: it's easy to get a...

The sight of Hong Kong in the night time is Blade Runner-esque, particularly in the week we have been here it has rained most days.
