Highly Hong Kong

For just a few cents, riding the lower deck of the 100-year-old Star Ferry that regularly crosses back and forth between Kowloon and Hong Kong, is probably the very best way to immerse oneself in the city: great views, real atmosphere – and virtually no expense. Of course, once you’ve done it, you can take the very comfortable and clean subway – as much a symbol of Hong Kong’s efficiency as the ferry is of the city’s beauty.

Getting there

Holidays in Hong Kong, China

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
Hong Kong is one of Asia’s busiest hubs. Most of the world’s top international airlines fly to Hong Kong International Airport weekly, if not daily, and it regularly tops the charts in the ‘world’s best airport’ awards (www.hongkongairport.com). Once you have landed, zoom into the city on the Airport Express train service – it takes about half an hour (www.mtr.com.hk).
Trains
Arrive by train from the mainland and capture some of the romance of bygone travel. The Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) runs regular trains into and out of Hong Kong, as well as around the New Territories (www.kcrc.com). Excellent in both value and efficiency, the MTR subway system is a great way to zip back and forth between Kowloon, Central and Causeway Bay (www.mtr.com.hk).
Automobiles
Renting a car is largely unnecessary thanks to efficient public transport and a glut of affordable taxis. Moreover, roads are frequently clogged with traffic and the one-way systems can be intimidatingly labyrinthine to the uninitiated.
