I was actually thinking of taking a cab from the airport to the bullet train station and then taking a 50 minute bullet train ride into Shenzhen. I have traveled in China by bullet train quite a bit before so I am familiar with the system.

I am thinking it should be around 2 hours to get into Shenzhen from the airport. Alternatively there is a direct bus
from the airport to downtown Shenzhen that takes 3 hours.
I'm in Shenzhen at this very moment, and I happen to like it a lot (it's a great place to decompress from crazy work weeks in hk).

That having been said I'll readily admit that it's tourist attraction value is non existent.
