To enter mainland China by high speed train, I advise to take a high speed train at HK West Kowloon. And you don't need to report immigration before travel with a valid China visa, just go to West Kowloon and accept checks there.

Where is this Longnan, because there is more than one in China spelling like this?

You need to arrive 1-2h early to go through the security checks and immigration checks of both Mainland China and HK. The luggage restriction is: ≤20 kg (44 pounds) and ≤130cm (51 inches) by length+width+height per luggage for adults; ≤10 kg (22 pounds) for children. To take metro trains, there is no luggage restriction. The Shangri la hotel is near exit 10 of Futian metro station. You can walk to Futian metro station after arriving at Futian Railway Station following the signboards.
