Hong Kong has leased parts of the new West Kowloon station to
mainland China’s immigration and customs authorities, which
have full jurisdiction there. Select a travel direction below
to see how the plan will work.
Passengers arrive by train and go from the platform on level
B4 up to B2.
Departing passengers enter the station at level B1, pass
ticket checks and take an escalator or lift to B3. After
passing Hong Kong customs they enter the mainland jurisdiction
area for passport checks.
They follow the path marked by the dots to mainland China
border clearance officers. Passengers then leave mainland
jurisdiction to pass Hong Kong customs and a ticket check
before leaving the station.
Once cleared for entry to mainland China passengers may enter
the waiting area or head to platforms on level B4 to board
trains.
