Sheung Shui Station (上水站) is the penultimate northbound station on the East Rail Line in Hong Kong. This station serves the terminus of northbound trains after the Lo Wu Boundary Crossing has closed. Passengers wishing not to run afoul of Hong Kong law by entering the Boundary Area illegally by proceeding to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau without a Closed Area Permit, valid passport and visa, or without the intention of crossing over to Shenzhen are advised to disembark here.

This station is located in the North District, New Territories, Hong Kong, serving the Sheung Shui area and its vicinity.

Many people going to Shenzhen like exiting this station first, then go back to the platform and go to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau. People can save the fare from $2 to $24.4 .
