1. Location: Shenzhen North Station is located in the north of Shenzhen, near Longhua New District and Futian District, while Shenzhen East Station is located in the east of Shenzhen, near Longgang District and Pingshan District. Because Shenzhen North Station is in the urban area, the traffic is more convenient, so it is easier to attract tourists.
2. History and development: Shenzhen North Railway Station is a newly-built railway station in recent years, with first-class facilities and modern technology, which can meet the travel needs of a large number of passengers. However, Shenzhen East Railway Station was built earlier and its facilities are relatively old, which can't meet the increasing passenger demand.
3. Service quality: Shenzhen North Railway Station has performed well in terms of service quality, including comfortable waiting environment, convenient ticket purchasing method and efficient ride service. However, the service quality of Shenzhen East Railway Station is relatively poor, which can not meet the needs of passengers.

Operation mode: Shenzhen North Railway Station adopts a market-oriented operation mode and cooperates with more railway companies and airlines to provide more travel options and convenient services. Shenzhen East Railway Station, on the other hand, adopts the traditional operation mode, with less cooperation and relatively single service.
To sum up, the gap between Shenzhen North Railway Station and Shenzhen East Railway Station mainly stems from geographical location, historical development, service quality and operation mode. Although Shenzhen East Railway Station has some shortcomings, it is still an important transportation hub, providing travel services for local residents and foreign tourists.
