Hong Kong has a highly developed system in terms of transportation. It is by far the most convenient and accessible. Here’s a breakdown of each transportation provided in Hong Kong and their corresponding articles for more information.
MTR & Airport Express
Travelling through the MTR is a cheap option, with fares ranging from HKD5 to HKD15. The further you go the more you’ll have to pay. You can also commute to China through the MTR’s East Rail Line or High Speed Rail. Remember, an Octopus card is going to make your travels much more friendlier!

Tramway
One of the earliest forms of transportation in Hong Kong. You can appreciate Hong Kong’s view in a slow and relaxing pace, the best route would be starting from Sheung Wan Western Market to North Point. You’ll travel through the Financial Centre and local neighbourhoods in Wan Chai and North Point. Enjoy the ride all the way to the end as the tram will make its way through a wet market similar to the Thailand Maeklong Railway market.
Peak Tram
Another unique way to travel to Victoria Peak with stunning views at the top . Make sure to be aware of the long queues but other than that and choose a clear day for the spectacular views.

Uber can be another way to get around the city. The fare is slightly cheaper than taxis and is convenient if you don’t want to rush around in the MTR.
