Getting Around

HK has fantastic public transport system. MTR, buses and taxis are the main forms of transport. MTR and (most) buses are set up to use Octopus Cards. Taxis are also inexpensive and readily available. While many people in HK understand English enough to get you where you need to go, it’s advisable to get a written Chinese copy of e.g. your hotels address just in case.
