Fuyong Ferry Terminal is a waterfront transport hub in Fuyong Subdistrict, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, China, on the Pearl River estuary. The terminal links the western Shenzhen coast with other points across the estuary and has historically served routes toward Hong Kong and neighbouring Pearl River Delta cities, with timetables that vary by season and operator, so visitors should check the posted schedule at the terminal. Visiting the building and waterfront is free, while ferry tickets are sold separately. The site appeals less as a sightseeing stop than as a practical transport point, though the surrounding quay offers open views of the estuary, passing cargo vessels and ferries, and the distant skyline on clear days. A visit takes 30 to 60 minutes. Daytime is the best time, as services are most frequent, the terminal facilities are open and visibility across the water is good. The terminal tends to be calm outside commuter periods and busier around holidays, when more travellers use sailings. Visitors can photograph the estuary from the waterfront edge and watch boat movements, while the terminal building has waiting areas, ticket counters and basic shops. Passport and ticket requirements apply for international crossings, so documents should be prepared in advance. The terminal is about 10 minutes by taxi or Didi from Fuyong metro, costing approximately ¥15-25.
