It comes with a deposit of HK $ 50, again with the remaining money as soon as the paper. The card can be purchased fromwith the Airport Express Service Counter in the arrivals hall (a few steps from the baggage check desk).

3) Knowing the city and back

Now that you've taken care of the car, you are ready for the big city to beat, and the only question "what is the best way to go and return"?

Airport Express

The Airport Express is the fastest connection and comfortable for those of you who want to get downtown areasas a central Hong Kong, Iceland or Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side.

Runs from the platform at the end of the Arrivals Hall every 12 minutes and covers the distance from Hong Kong, Iceland in only 24 minutes with stops at Tsing Yi (What's a normal dormitory town ...) and Kowloon (Tsim Sha Tsui gateway to , Jordan, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok)

Octopus Card holders can also get free MTR connections to and from AirPort Express if their papers arereasonable value of their trip on the Orient Express and the MTR and the airport in less than an hour of each other. In addition, passengers on the same day Express you can enjoy a free round-trip airport ticket (offer applies to both Octopus Card and return the same day ticket holders).

The first train leaves the airport at 5:54 hours, and the last train at midnight after 0:48 pm (moves in the opposite direction and at the same time, more or less).

The main disadvantage ofAirport Express is that you can use the stations, then take another means of transportation to get where you want (there are free shuttle buses to the stations, but it takes a little 'time ...)

All in all, you can see anywhere in about 40 to 60 minutes (including a waiting period of 6 to 10 minutes driving time 20-24 minutes and another 10 to 20 minutes to get from the train station where you want)

Bus

Buses are cheaperwith the Airport Express (unless you back the same day and receive complimentary round-trip), but it takes much longer to get into town. However, they are to be considered for two main reasons:

- You work all night, which is important if your flight is arriving or departing to midnight 7 clock.
- You do not have another mode of transportation that the bus is usually right where you want to go.

Buses leave from outside the Ground Transportation CentreTerminal, and you can be in cash or Octopus card.

Citybus A11 travels in Causeway Bay, Wanchai and Central Hong Kong Island (N11 version is a night bus). A 21 travels at Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon side (N 21 version is a night of it) a. If there is heavy traffic, you can get buses to the main areas of Iceland or Hong Kong Kowloon 45 to 60 minutes.

Finally: The Airport Express is a better choice ifIf you are driving during peak hours (usually 10 7 a clock) and know exactly where you want it (I want specific details of attractions and places of interest in my next article). However, if you just want to drive one of the main shopping streets and road maintenance, or if you know that you have to travel in one direction to an hour late, the bus is the best choice!
