You should leave enough time when buying train tickets, because Chinese trains are very punctual, as you know, trains wait for no one! You can't apply the often delayed European train mentality to Chinese trains.

Basically the moment you set foot in Hong Kong you have set foot in China and China welcomes you. It's a pity that you didn't have enough China travel tips. You only need to prepare an Alipay (Hong Kong version and mainland version can be), real-name authentication binding your credit card, Alipay can help you quickly solve most of the payment problems, such as the Shenzhen Metro, you do not need to buy physical metro card, with Alipay's e-metro card will do. Of course, it is still recommended to prepare some cash on the body, just in case of emergency.😁

i quickly searched Shenzhen North railway station where you got off, and there are two atms available within 150meter radius. But they are in the shopping malls outside the train station. Ordinary people rarely use cash, so they probably wont know either. Tip might be that you always have to go to a mall or a bank to search for ATMs. Hope that you enjoy your stay in China.

Honestly, most of the time using the high speed train to go to Shenzhen doesn't make sense - the trip is so short that you hardly save any time, and the HK section of the line is a "higher speed" (I.E. 200km/h) line rather than full HSR. Just get the MTR to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau and then take the metro since most of the time it's just as quick. Where the HSR does make sense is if you are going to some place further down the line, like Guangzhou since then you are only speed-restricted for a small part of the route.

In fact, HK and Shenzhen citizens rarely take the so-called high speed train to travel between these 2 cities. It is NOT a high speed train (less than 200km/h). And the security and immigration take so much time than other ports. Moreover, the time we take from home to West Kowloon Station maybe the same as the time to other Shenzhen land ports (depends on which place you live in HK).

This passport available for some of european like your Dutch passport , Germany , Hungary , Swiss and other eu country as well. Or some other asian countries like Malaysia too, that means you can free visit in Mainland China for the maximum 15 days. Further more! Once until 31 December 2025 than you going back a normal which means you need to required or apply Visa again or Visa on arrival as well.

When taking high speed train from HK to China, you have to go through 2 immigration and custom controls, Hong Kong and China. You're leaving HK and entering China at the same station. That can take lots of time depending on how many people are in line. Therefore, give yourself a lot of time so you don't miss your train.

You can visit any bank branch to find ATMs or exchange cash in Hong Kong. Alipay is essentially bloated spyware that you would need to install on a separate phone to keep your data safe. On the train from China they play an announcement that says that if you use the on-board WIFI while in Hong Kong your data is safe but once you enter mainland China it is not. Very true!
