Hong Kong Modern Airport Chek Lap Kok Airport Review

One of my favorite airports although it was not so fun during the past SARS outbreak of having to wear surgical face mask.

Airport has two main terminals connected by a "skytrain". Almost miss a flight because of fairly long queue at immigration and the distance need to travel in the transit area. So give yourself plenty of time to check-in before boarding.

Really like the variety of great Hong Kong dim sum and delicacies available in the transit restaurants. The signs are bilingual, in Chinese and English.

Direct bus services from Airport to China

Because Hong Kong is a major transit for Taiwanese who cannot fly direct to China, there is an excellent network of well managed bus shuttles that runs regularly from Hong Kong Airport to different Chinese cities of Shenzen, Humen, Dongguang, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, etc.

If you are going to be commuting, there are discounted bus tickets vouchers if bought in bulk.

Note that many buses stop running after 8 or 9pm, so do check the last bus schedule from the different bus companies online.

There is a waiting time of anywhere around 1 hour at the Hong Kong-China immigration border.

Also you must have a ready China visa before you are allowed to board these buses.

Cheapest way from Airport to Town Chek Lap Kok Airport Review

The cheapest way to Kowloon from the airport is by using the bus. Also you will get a chance to view the three beautiful bridges along the way. Upon arrival, check with information desk counter the direction and which bus number to take to your hotel destination. You can always get a cab from your nearest bus stop.

Note: The taxi ride is hefty in price. Of course, if you are on company or have extra cash.
