Most visitors’ first experience with Hong Kong’s great transportation system starts at Hong Kong International Airport, where the Airport Express Line whisks passengers every 10 minutes to Kowloon Station in 20 minutes and to Central’s Hong Kong Station in 24 minutes, from which free Airport Express Shuttle buses head to most major hotels.

Getting Around

It’s easy to get around Hong Kong, whether it’s aboard the Star Ferry sailing across Victoria Harbour, a rickety tram making its way from Central to Causeway Bay, the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) that shuttles passengers to satellite towns in the New Territories or buses that go to places the MTR doesn’t serve. What’s more, English signage is everywhere, including in subways and subway stations, on buses and on more than 1,000 directional signs that point to major places of interest.
