  Good evening everyone, tonight I would like to take you to discover different Hong Kong.

How many people of you have ever been to Hong Kong? But I guess you’ve not tried all kinds of transportation yet. So please follow Sonia’s exclusive guide tour to Hong Kong.

While landing in Hong Kong, the most convenient way for a passenger with bulky luggage to get to downtown is taking TAXI.

Taxi

Hong Kong taxis are not too expensive compared to other major modern cities, and allow 5 people to get on at most. With more than 18,000 cruising the streets, taxis are usually easy to flag down, except at bus stops and some restricted yellow line areas. But can also be difficult to flag during rush hours.

Many taxis have a card that lists the top 50 destinations in English, Cantonese and Japanese. This is useful as most drivers don’t speak English. It’s a good idea to have your destination written down in Chinese.

Mass Transit Railway (MTR)

The MTR is clean, fast, safe and easy. Though it costs a bit more than other forms of mass transport, it is the quickest way to get to most destinations, including most business and entertainment district at Tsim Sha Tsui, the shopping Mecca and the heart of Kowloon and the famous outdoor market, Temple Street Night Market, in Yau Ma Tei, Don’t worry about insufficient time to travel around, MTR run from 6am to 1am. Fares range from HK$5 to HK$15, and you can buy Octopus Cards to buy tickets, and even can use it in some restaurant to avoid holding lots of coins.

Ferry

Hong Kong’s ferries are almost always faster and only cost HKD2.20, cheaper than the buses and provide fantastic photo opportunities. The Star Ferry crosses the harbours such as between Central and Kowloon, taking just 7 minutes to make you gaze up at Hong Kong's majestic skyline, which is an erratic stretch of skyscrapers, hotels and apartment blocks. The nighttime views, when Hong Kong glitters like a diamond, are dramatic.

Travelator

The Travelator is the world’s longest escalator and consists of elevated escalators and moving sidewalks. It caters to the commuters who live up in the steep hillside and work down in the city, but can be a fun way to sightsee as well.

Victoria Peak

The view of Kowloon and Hong Kong is fantastic from the peak (hope it's not misty or raining). You can take the Peak Tram to the top of the peak and then walk on the fairly flat road which rings the top of the mountain.

 Tram, locals are call it Ding Ding

Trams are tall and narrow double-decker streetcars that service northern Hong Kong Island. The trams are not fast, but they are cheap and a fun way to sightsee. For a flat fare of HK$3 you can go as far as you like.

Helicopter Tours
A spectacular and exclusive way to see the sights. They can give you an impressive bird's eye view of most of Hong Kong. You can fly around the harbour and look down upon the skyscrapers of Central, cruise along beautiful bays and beaches and cross over to the magnificent Outlying Islands, and view the rugged east coast and traditional farmlands of the New Territories.

Light Rail Transit (LTR)

The LTR is like a modern, air conditioned version of the rickety old Tram; however, the LTR is much faster. It runs along the city streets and stops at designated stations. Some routes connect with the MTR routes.
