Turbojet doesn't operate HKG-Fuyong any more, but CKS does. The schedule is on hongkongairport.com. It is less frequent than Shekou, with only 6 sailings a day each way.

Closest ferry port to Dongguan Convention center would be Humen, at 30KM.
But only available from HKIA

Closest Dongguan train station 65 km to convention center.

Bus might be best option.

Leaving from HK to catch an 8PM flight out of SZX. I plan to have my dinner before the flight. The airport web site is not very clear as to locations of various restaurants, i.e., airside or landside. Usually in such a case at other airports, I’d clear formalities immediately after check-in to find a place to eat airside. This is my first time to SZX and would appreciate advice from more frequent travellers to SZX whether there is any restaurants airside? If so, is there a particular one that is recommended or should be avoided? Thanks.

SZX is a very small airport I don't think you would find much of anything there. I only went there once on a diversion and didn't actually have time to explore. I think it would be safer to eat on the way to the airport.

SZX is a medium sized airport compared to other very small airports in China (Hohhot, or anyone been to Tongren?)

There are the usual restaurants airside (3 or 4 I guess), all a bit overpriced, presumably all not so good. I'm afraid I can neither recommend nor advise against one. (I usually try to avoid eating at airports)
So, you won't starve, but also won't find a great restaurant there.

Oh, and there's McD and Starbucks, landside though.

This option is unfortunately not available to me.

I originate from Hong Kong and my flight departs SZX at 8PM. It means that I should catch the 4:15PM or 4:45PM bus from Wanchai to arrive at the airport by 6PM with room to spare in case of congestions at the border or traffic. Mindful that it will be typical evening rush hours at HK that starts at about 4PM until 7PM.

Although I am flying F, I don’t know what CZ will feed me on a 1¼ hour flight departing at 8PM. It will be near 10PM by the time I get to my hotel.

I don’t expect to find gourmet cuisine at most airports but "food" for the simple purpose of keeping me from being hungry!

I shall ask the check in agent.

Plenty available.

Here's the airport's listing of food/restaurants available:

Plenty of eateries at SZX, landside and out. And it is indeed one of the larger and busiest airports in China. However, I usually lose my appetite after seeing the prices.

There's a Starbucks airside, in the area between the T1 and T2 gates - yes, once you go airside, the two terminals are connected.

Clipper801

Okay. Thanks. Which one is located airside and which one is located landside as I asked in my original post?

Clipper801

Thanks.

Agreed that the premium charged on food at many airports is quite ridiculous. Unfortunately, the choice is either go hungry or pay the ransom!

I am sure that I shall be able to find something. At worse, wait until I arrive at the hotel at my destination!

Funny story at SZX this past May. SZX-CSX-LHW lunch flight on MU horribly delayed, and no update on expected departure time. We went hungry but like I said, the prices at those restaurants airside is pretty ridiculous. So, we went to 7-Eleven to grab some sandwich.

Right when we finished our sandwiches, some workers pushed out 150 boxed lunches, catered from the Chinese restaurant (located landside, between T1 and T2). Much better food than served om board. Each passenger would go up to the gate to get the lunch with a Pepsi and a bottle of water.

[Anyways, rest of story irrelevant, but we were later bused to a hotel in Fuyong for "rest". And we were served dinner there too. Final delay around 7 hours, but we got to Lanzhou same night, at around 2am.]

Since you're flying F, the lounge (right side just after ID check) will have decent bites (congee, rice, noodles, fruit, etc) and drink to keep you satisfied until you reach your hotel at 10. Definitely better than catering on board.

Thanks for the tip! ^
