Alternative to Shekou Port in Shenzhen?

I have been exploring the Shenzhen Fu Yong Ferry Terminal 福永碼頭 which is a port of call for the turbojet from both HK as well as Macau.
Seems to be right next to Shenzhen Airport and perhaps a decent alternative way to get to CP from both HK and Macau. Of course, there are limited sailing times.
This because I will now also alternate time spent in CP with Humen which is nearer to Shenzhen airport than CP.
I understand from a reliable source that the Shekou location may be too far away from CP to be a good alternative.
In fact, a close friend told me that I would be stupid to even consider to use Shekou to get to CP and just took him for his word and dropped the idea!
Mind you, I have not used both to date so my comments here are based on "heresay" rather than personal experiences.
Anyone has tried either or both these alternatives?
HKIA Tax Refund
The person who first adviced to check out Shekou - HK Airport as an alternative told me that you get HK Airport Tax refunded because you do not truly enter HK and that is one nice saving to get. On a recent departure via Zhuhai (after spending a night there), I went directly from Jinzhou port in Zhuhai to HKIA and got that refund and that paid for my boat ride thereby by-passing HK city! It was nice!

[QUOTE=Ace Gallant]I had been told 20 mins ago by the Business Centre of Miraton that all E&E transit to HKIA from CP will be going through the Shenzhen Bay (New immigration as there are no traffic jam and on the Hongkong it is faster because the Highway is brand new. As mentioned, on China side it take slight longer because it is far west of Shenzhen but the saving in Hong Kong side and the clearing at immigration just help to save a total of up to 30mins!
I had came by the new immigration on Friday and found that there is not much difference (3 hours) because we got caught in the Jam at the Meilin checkpoint. But that was the Friday rush anyways.
Jojo says Feifei is her real sister and when I asked FeiFei in another occasion she said she is not but they are only cousins. Jojo says the boss is her Uncle but when I asked the Boss he said they are all my nieces which includes Sandy, Feifei and Jojo and many more.... However the Boss told me that there are 4 shareholders of that BBS on second floor and the other cross the street in Yalan area and Sandy is one of the smaller shareholder.....balh blah blah ...blah blah blah....Who cares???? Why would I want to know about them anyways??? and why the fuck are they telling me all these??? It does not make any difference to us isn't it? Where the pussy at? :D
The "Scouts" as you call them, are definitely on the look out for us. When the Asst mama was my GF, we use to get on to this Mini to get to places within CP. At that time, we only pay 10RMB per trip as compared to 15RMB which we we usually pays.
Enjoy!

BTW: Jojo hates me now because I never take girls from her, but I bet you, I can turn it around in just one visit! :D :D[/QUOTE]
AG,
Well, Jojo and I happen to be very good friends and I talk to her all the time. You believe your story and I will believe mine. If you like, next time you are in town, we can go together and talk to all the mommies about who the hell owns what and how much they get paid.
All I do is report what I am told by trusted friends, what I see with my own eyes (I LIVE here now) and try to give accurate posts, I DO NOT try to be the all knowing, all seeing King of Chang Ping, you already own that title.
I am tired of the contradictions, and subversive flaming...

Am I running a NSF study here?
It would be fair for you to ask those questions about my methodology if I were running a well-funded National Science Foundation study. Instead my information and conslusions were based on my own observations and discussions with travellers on the road, who were fairly objective and dispassionate about these issues.
Admittedly my data in this case are not first-hand or exhaustive; my analyses were based on my own understandings of historical events, local culture and values. Take them for what they are worth.
What does this issue have to do with me and my mother? What kinds of twisted motivations do you have here?
Before taking on complex issues, you should learn some manners so you can have discussions in level-headed ways without being emotionally worked up and without letting your own personal problems get in the way of disseminating factual information and fair/objective analyses to the bros.
[QUOTE=Night Cat]The real issue here is that, while our friend OWL sometimes sees and tells reality as it is, and can be a nice guy to hang out with, he has an alter ego, such that, at times, he projects onto other people his imagination about their feelings, experiences, and intentions, and speaks from that imagination as if he really believes in it, and he doesn't seem to care about whether it has any basis in reality. In other words, he has a tendency to take side trips into la-la-land.
OK, enough crosstalk for now. In the next episode, we will examine the relationship between OWL and his mother (if he is so inclined). Tune in next week, same owl-time, same owl-channel.[/QUOTE]
