## GETTING AROUND THE CITY

#### directions\_subway From the airport to your hotel

There are several ways to get from the Hong Kong International Airport, which is located on Lantau Island, to your destination. The quickest? The Airport Express: a subway line that will take you to popular stations like Hong Kong Station and Kowloon Station, where you can then connect to get to final stop, if needed. Buy tickets at the counter or vending machines at the airport. For a cheaper alternative, you can also catch a bus from the airport. Follow airport signage to the bus terminal and pay with cash or an Octopus Card to ride. You can use the maps feature on your phone to find which bus will get you where you need to go.

#### contactless Take the subway

The subway trains (known as the MTR) are going to be your best bet for getting around the city. For the easiest way to pay, purchase an Octopus Card at the airport, any subway station or convenience stores. You can also download the card to your phone’s wallet. With the card, you can also take the bus or the ferry and even use it for vending machines or at convenience stores.

#### local\_taxi Grab a taxi

In Hong Kong, taxis are an easy and affordable way to get around the city. If the light on top of the taxi is lit up, it’s available. Let the driver open the automatic door – don't try to open it yourself!

**Tip:** If taxis aren’t stopping for you, check the gutter for painted yellow lines. If it has a double solid yellow lines, it’s illegal to stop for pick up or drop off.

## RECOMMENDED BY DELTA PEOPLE 



For this guide, we turned to Delta First Officer Victor Ngai, who flew our inaugural LAX-HKG flight, to share some of his favorite things to do in Hong Kong.





#### SIDE QUEST 

 

 

 



Take the one-hour fast ferry to Macau, a former Portuguese colony. The mixture of Portuguese culture and architecture with Chinese heritage makes it a special place to visit. It’s also home to the Vegas of Asia, where you’ll find many casinos. While in Macau, don’t forget to try the delicious Portuguese egg tarts!



**Tip:** If visiting this area, be sure to bring your passport as you will need to go through customs both ways. Don’t worry – the process is easy, fast, and visitor visas are not required for U.S. citizens.
