The worst part of this is the (quick) slog from Sheung Shui KCR station to the bus stop, because it's always crowded and filled with smokers.
Anyway, staying in Shenzhen is particularly convenient during major HK conventions, when even the hovels of Chungking Mansions cost ≥ HK$800 per night.
I prefer Shekou because those vans from Shenzhen Bay are super convenient.
