Conference delegates can reach the conference venue from airport by (1) MTR, (2) bus, and (3) taxi.
More details about these three means are given in the following. For
delegates coming from Mainland, taking the KCR train should be the best choice. For delegates who take MTR or
KCR train, you need to get off at Kowloon Tong Station and the conference venue is within walking
distance. If you carry big luggage, you can just take a taxi at To Fuk Road (next to the Kowloon Tong station).
For those who travel by bus, after getting off the bus at Junction Road,
they can walk towards the Hong Kong Baptist University at Renfrew Road.
Octopus Cards – The Easy Way to Travel |
Most public transport requires exact change and that's why we recommend that you get an Octopus card.
This electronic stored-value card is just like money and is accepted on most public transport including buses,
minibuses, trains, ferries, the Peak Tram, and some taxis. It's even accepted at convenience stores and fast food restaurants.
To pay a fare, simply place the Octopus card on the reader located next to the fare box and the fare gets deducted electronically.
A new Octopus card includes a refundable HK$50 deposit. Any leftover money is also refunded when you return the card. Ask for it
at the Airport Express Customer Service Counters on Level 5 of the Hong Kong International Airport, and the cards are also available
at most public transport customer service centres.
