Answer
Hi Roy,

I think it would be difficult to make it from Hong Kong to Shenzhen and back in a day. But you can try provided you have all your travel documents in place. Make sure that the visa that you have for Hong Kong is valid for entry into Shenzhen.

Last I remember, you could take a train from central Hong Kong to the north in the island territories and then cross over to Shenzhen. You can actually walk into Shenzhen from the train station and the malls are all there.

However, I doubt if it would be very different from Hong Kong which is also a good place for shopping for the stuff that you mentioned.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't forget to rate me.

Take care and have fun.
Nilesh
