China Railway says conventional passenger trains departing from 00:00 on 25 November 2026 will use new train numbers. Routes and timetables will generally remain unchanged. Tickets under the new numbers will go on sale progressively from 11 November. High-speed and other EMU train numbers are unchanged in this phase. Look up your exact route and date on 12306 rather than relying on an older saved train number.

From 17–20 November, 06:00–22:00, temporary restrictions apply to most non-Shenzhen-plated passenger cars in Futian, Luohu, Nanshan, Bao'an, Longgang and Longhua. Exceptions include specified licensed passenger services, certain cross-border vehicles and designated routes. Separate truck restrictions apply on selected dates and routes from 16–20 November. Confirm the vehicle, route and any exemptions before booking a transfer or arranging supplier collections and deliveries.

The official Shenzhen programme lists the leaders' meeting for 18–19 November 2026. Check official notices for any transport or venue changes before travelling.

Typhoon and heavy-rain alerts can affect flights, rail, roads and factory visits. Use the Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau for the current warning status; this page does not issue its own alerts.

For 16–20 November 2026, Shenzhen's port authority encourages cross-border freight operators and private-car travellers to reduce non-essential vehicle trips, use off-peak crossing times and follow on-site directions. Coordinate collection and delivery timing with your freight provider. This is an off-peak travel advisory, not a notice closing border crossings.

Temporary low-altitude flight controls cover Futian and Nanshan from 7–10 November, then Shenzhen citywide except the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone from 11–21 November 2026. The rules cover drones and other specified aircraft and airborne objects. Confirm any planned outdoor drone demonstration or aerial filming with the host and relevant authorities; special flight tasks require approval.
