Xinghe Times Apartment – Shenzhen North Railway Station

Xinghe Times Apartment – Shenzhen North Railway Station Overview

First Impressions

The Xinghe Times Apartment – Shenzhen North Railway Station sits right in the heart of Longhua District, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you’re planning to explore Shenzhen by rail. This four-star property is tucked inside the Huilong Centre Building at the HBC complex — which sounds corporate, but actually works in your favor since everything you need is practically at your doorstep. The building itself has that modern Chinese business district vibe, clean and efficient without being sterile.

Location & Getting Around

You know what really impressed me? How close this place is to Shenzhen North Railway Station — I mean, you can literally walk there in minutes. If you’re doing day trips to Guangzhou or Hong Kong, this saves you so much time and hassle with early morning commutes. The Longhua District has really grown on me over the years; it’s got this perfect balance where you’re connected to everything but not drowning in the chaos of downtown. There are plenty of local eateries around the HBC area, and the metro connections are solid.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment setup is what sets this place apart from typical hotel rooms. You get actual living space — not just a bed crammed next to a tiny desk. The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped for a serviced apartment; I’ve stayed in places that claim to have kitchens but only give you a microwave and hope. Here, you can actually cook a proper meal if you want to save money or just prefer eating in. The furnishings feel contemporary without trying too hard, and there’s enough storage space that you won’t be living out of your suitcase.

Why Couples Choose This Spot

I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something about having your own space that just feels more intimate than a standard hotel room. You can grab groceries from the nearby markets, cook together, or just spread out and relax without feeling like you’re on top of each other. The area around HBC has some nice walking spots too, and you’re close enough to both the business district and more residential neighborhoods to get a real feel for how locals live. Plus, the parking situation is way better than what you’ll find in central Shenzhen if you’re planning to rent a car.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

The 8.2 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that sweet spot where you get excellent value without paying premium prices. The staff understands that most guests are either business travelers who need reliable wifi and workspace, or tourists who want easy access to transportation. They don’t oversell the experience, but they deliver on the basics really well. The combination of the apartment-style setup, the unbeatable location near the railway station, and the fact that you’re in a proper mixed-use development rather than a tourist bubble — that’s what keeps people booking this place again.

Apartments in Shenzhen suit extended stays with skyline balconies, induction kitchens, and community gyms.

Reviews of Xinghe Times Apartment – Shenzhen North Railway Station

• Boumia from United States (9/10)

  The Apartment complex is close to Shenzhen’s main rail station, shops and malls are a minutes away from you, either by subway or by walk, restaurants are close by too.
  I’ve asked the staff to put the address in mandarin just in case you want to show it to the cab driver. Much easier.

• Anthony from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The location was fantastic. Go down the escalators from Shenzhenbei station and the building is on the right. Our apartment was clean, modern and spacious. Able to leave bags at the hotel and collect before departure.

• Ricardo from South Africa (8/10)

  First thing to do when going to Shenzhen China is download Alipay. This app allows you to add your credit card. Can pay for almost everything in China with this app and even order Taxi rides. App is in Mandarin (Chinese) so use google translate. Having a VPN like Surfshark helps alot as google cant be used without it.
  
  To the actual place. Check in is a little confusing as its a huge buildings with companies inside that are individually hiring out apartments. Ask them to send Chinese address makes it easier for taxi. Building is called HSBC Building. Go to Floor 5 room 530 to check in. From there everything should be smooth.
  
  Staff is Very friendly. They ordered is food (paid them back with alipay) and even helped with ordering taxis when we struggled. Its a decent size apartment for a family of 4. Rooms are upstairs and kitchen and tv / lounge downstairs. Has Two bathrooms. Any problems was also sorted out quickly by staff. Aircon worked welland has washing machine and Dryer.
  
  Kitchen has Fridge and Stove. Internet speed was ok
  
  View from apartment is nice. place is also near to Shenzhen North Station which allows you to travel to Hong kong Kowloon Station easily. The Shenzhen North Station is about 100 to 200 meters max from the apartment. There is also some good restaurants nearby.
