Longgang Sam's Club: the Yongdong Bus route from Hong Kong

Updated August 6, 2026

20 minutes: that's the ride from Heung Yuen Wai customs to Longgang Sam's Club on the Yongdong Bus, one direct service picking up from roughly eight stops across Hong Kong. If you don't want to drag trolleys through the Futian MTR interchange, this is the route to book.

what this bus actually saves you

Sam's Club in Longgang sits well east of the border crossings most Hong Kong people default to, which is exactly why this route exists. Instead of taking the MTR to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau and then a taxi or metro transfer deep into Longgang, you board once in Hong Kong and get off outside the shop. No transfers, no working out which Shenzhen Metro line gets you there, no arguing with a taxi driver about the meter.

The bus crosses at Heung Yuen Wai (Liantang), which is worth knowing if you've only ever used Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau. It's the newest of the five crossings and usually the least crowded, and if you want to compare it against the other options for a different trip, the border crossing tool filters all five by hours and how busy they tend to get. For this route it doesn't matter which crossing you'd personally pick, the operator has already chosen it, and it works in the bus's favour: less queueing than Lo Wu, no midnight crowds like Huanggang.

the hong kong stops

Yongdong Bus (listed on some platforms as Eternal East Bus) runs this service from roughly eight pickup points across Hong Kong, which is more than most cross-border shuttles bother with. The core stops, confirmed on the current KKday and HyperAir listings, are Diamond Hill (Hollywood Plaza), Kwun Tong (apm), Mong Kok / Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui (China Hong Kong City), Sha Tin (Hilton Centre), Tsuen Wan, and Kwai Fong. Some schedules also add a Hong Kong International Airport pickup, so check which stop your booking confirms rather than assuming.

After Heung Yuen Wai customs, it's about 20 minutes on the mainland side to Longgang Galaxy COCO Park, where Sam's Club sits. That's the number the operator itself quotes and it matches what regular riders report, so don't pad your schedule expecting a slog through Longgang traffic on top of the border wait.

fares and how often it runs

The standard round trip fare on the current listing is HK$110, which works out to about HK$55 each way. I've seen this route discounted as low as HK$35 to HK$70 return during promo periods on KKday, so it's worth checking the live price before you commit rather than budgeting off any number printed here, mine included. Departures are frequent, up to around 38 round trips a day spread across all the pickup points combined, though the operator doesn't publish a single fixed timetable the way KMB does. You pick a rough time slot when booking and the platform confirms your actual seat, sometimes offering a backup slot if your first choice is full.

Book ahead if you're going on a weekend. Seats per departure are limited and Sam's Club runs fill up fast, especially around payday weekends when half of Kwun Tong seems to have the same idea.

luggage rules, and why they're not just fine print here

Each passenger gets one standard piece of luggage and one hand-carry item. On the operator's own terms, standard luggage tops out around 55cm by 45cm by 20cm and 10kg, with hand luggage capped near 37.5cm by 25cm by 15cm. That sounds generous until you've actually done a Sam's Club run and tried to fit two rotisserie chickens, a case of water, and a 24-pack of toilet paper into one suitcase.

The allowance matters more on this route than on a normal cross-border coach because everyone riding it is coming back with shopping. If you know you're going big, bring a foldable cart or a second soft bag you can carry as your one hand item, because the driver will hold you to the one-plus-one rule when the luggage hold is already packed with everyone else's haul.

what to do once you're there

The Longgang store is one of three Sam's Club locations Hong Kong shoppers use regularly, and if this particular branch isn't the closest to what you're after, the Sam's Club hub page compares all three on stock, crowding, and how to get to each one. Once you're inside, paying is straightforward as long as you've set up WeChat Pay HK or Alipay HK beforehand, since Octopus won't work at the till. The payments guide covers the setup if you haven't done it yet, and it's worth doing before you're standing at self-checkout with a cart full of frozen salmon.

One rule to keep in your head for this whole trip: book your bus seat before you shop, not after, because the last departures fill up with exactly the suitcase-and-trolley crowd you'll be part of, and missing your bus home with a cart of thawing groceries is not how you want this day to end.
