Station lockers can make a final sightseeing or shopping stop easier when you have already checked out. The Shenzhen Transport Bureau’s 28 April 2026 notice reported 70 locker units at 55 stations across 13 lines. Those are the announcement’s figures, not a live inventory.
This guide was checked on 2 November 2026. Look for luggage storage (行李寄存) or self-service lockers (自助存包柜). Confirm a usable locker before building your day around leaving a bag there.
Stations to check along your route
The April notice names these useful starting points:
| Journey | Metro station names to save |
|---|---|
| Railway connection | Shenzhen North (深圳北站), Futian (福田站), Luohu (罗湖站) |
| Airport connection | Airport (机场站) |
| Border crossing | Futian Checkpoint (福田口岸站), Huanggang Checkpoint (皇岗口岸站), Liantang Checkpoint (莲塘口岸站) |
| Central-city stop | Convention & Exhibition Center (会展中心站) |
These are metro-station references; the notice does not establish a particular railway terminal, checkpoint hall or airport-counter location. Ask station staff for the locker bank and whether it is inside or outside the paid area. Futian station and Futian Checkpoint station are different destinations. Use the Metro guide to plan your actual route.
Match the bag to the compartment
The same notice describes small compartments for books or a small backpack, medium compartments for items such as a 20-inch suitcase, and large compartments for a 28-inch suitcase. Treat suitcase sizes as examples: measure your bag including wheels and handles, and check the actual compartment before paying.
What did the published pricing say?
The Qianhai Authority’s April 2026 English report listed RMB 2, 4 and 5 per hour for small, medium and large lockers respectively, with a RMB 30 cap for the first 24 hours. This is a dated published price snapshot, not a live quote for every station or locker provider. Read the rate, billing increments and any overstay charge on the actual machine before paying.
Foreign visitors: test the identity step first
The bureau’s July 2024 launch report quotes the operator as requiring mobile real-name verification through WeChat or Alipay. It does not specify supported passport types or establish that your foreign account will pass the current locker provider’s checks.
Our recommendation is to complete the required account and payment steps while you still have time for an alternative. A working wallet for a shop purchase does not demonstrate that a separate locker service will accept your identity information. If you cannot complete the process, ask staff about an alternative before leaving the station.
Check the collection plan before closing the door
Use this practical checklist at the machine:
- Read the current price, billing increments, maximum storage period and terms for restricted items.
- Ask when you can retrieve the bag, including station-closing limits and paid-area access.
- Save the station, locker-bank location, compartment number and order record; keep your phone charged.
- Keep your passport, travel documents, medication and valuable prototypes with you.
- Leave enough time to return, collect the bag and reach your train, flight or checkpoint.
The sources below do not establish a current tariff, 24-hour access, available compartment or successful foreign-passport verification. Read the provider’s current terms and ask staff if anything is unclear.
For an airport-bound day, compare the staffed storage option in our airport guide. For onward travel, use the passport train-ticket guide or Hong Kong–Shenzhen guide, and plan the collection stop before the departure deadline.
