Hong Kong
Transport
Hong Kong is small and crowded, which makes public transport the only practical way to get around. Public transport is cheap, fast, widely used and generally efficient. The bus system is extensive and bewildering but you will need it to explore the south side of Hong Kong Island and the New Territories. The north side of Hong Kong Island and most of Kowloon are well-served by Hong Kong's ultra-modern Mass Transit Railway (MTR). Three tunnels link Hong Kong with Kowloon.

The Kowloon-Guangzhou (Canton) Railway (KCR) runs from Kowloon to the Chinese border at Lo Wu. Light Rail Transit (fast, modern, air-con trams) run in the New Territories, connecting the city of Tuen Mun with Yuen Long.

Double-decker trams trundle along the northern side of Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong's ferries are usually faster and cheaper than buses and trams. 

They are also fun, and the harbour views are stunning when the weather cooperates. Hoverferries are about twice as fast as conventional boats.

Metered taxis are red with silver tops (and green with white tops in the New Territories). They will not pick up or put down at bus stops. Car rental is available but don't contemplate it. Bicycling in Kowloon or Central would be suicidal, but in quiet areas of the islands or the New Territories a bike can be quite a nice way of getting around.

International Airport - Chek Lap Kok

Both, modern and vibrant, Hong Kong is among the world's most captivating cities, with something for everyone here. As a regional hub for finance, trade and tourism, Hong Kong now has an international airport that complements the surge in activity.
On Monday, July 6, 1998, the HK International Airport opened its doors on Lantau Island for operation, replacing the old airport at Kai Tak. The opening concluded one of 10 infrastructures which generated major change in Hong Kong's transport system. It also provided new land for use that stretches to office buildings and housing. Developments in transportation structures include 34 km of expressways and tunnels, a high-speed rail link connecting the airport with Hong Kong's urban centres, the world's longest road-rail suspension bridge and a third cross-harbour tunnel link.
