1. Google Maps: As a navigation tool widely used in the world, Google Maps is also very popular in Hong Kong. It provides accurate route planning, real-time traffic information, public transportation navigation and rich location information. Users can quickly find the destination through the search function and get detailed walking, driving or public transportation routes. In addition, Google Maps also provides a street view function, allowing users to understand the surrounding environment of the destination more intuitively.

2. Amap: Amap is one of the most popular navigation apps in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. In addition to the basic navigation function, Gaode Map also provides rich local information for Hong Kong users, such as restaurants, shopping centers and gas stations. It has friendly interface, simple operation and supports voice navigation, so that users can concentrate more on the road during driving.

3. Apple Maps: Apple Maps is a convenient choice for users who use Apple devices. As a built-in navigation tool for Apple devices, Apple Maps is closely integrated with the iOS system, providing a smooth user experience. In Hong Kong, Apple Maps also provides accurate map data and navigation services, including real-time traffic information and indoor maps.

When choosing a navigation app, users can choose according to their own needs and device types. For example, for users who need to know more about the environment around their destination, the street view function of Google Maps may be very useful; For users who often use navigation during driving, the voice navigation function of Gaode map may be more convenient. In general, these navigation apps can provide accurate and reliable navigation services in Hong Kong.

Since the opening of the high-speed rail to Hong Kong, more and more people have come to Hong Kong to travel, which has continuously promoted the development of Hong Kong's tourism industry. So, what means of transportation should we take after arriving in Hong Kong? Next, Xiaobian will sort out the transportation mode of Hong Kong travel for everyone!

Subway (MTR)

MTR is not only convenient, but also has a wide distribution law, with 11 lines running through Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories, which brings great convenience to us people, especially during the peak hours of going to work or school. Moreover, its mechanism is perfect, and the planning route and the entrances and exits of each station are very detailed, which makes people simple and clear and can find the corresponding exits.

Light rail

This is a unique means of transportation in Hong Kong, connecting Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun in the northwest New Territories. There are 68 stations, four of which are connected to the west rail line of the subway. The stations have open platforms, designed zoning charges, and MTR company offers transfer concessions.

bus

There are four types of buses in Hong Kong: Hong Kong Bus, Hong Kong Bus, Kowloon Bus (the largest bus company in Hong Kong) and First World Bus.

MTR bus (MTR's transfer bus, the same MTR company's transfer discount, distributed in the New Territories)

Lantau bus (mainly serving buses in Lantau or at the port)

When you take a bus in Hong Kong, there is a rule that you must press the exit bell when you get off.

minibus

Hong Kong minibuses are divided into green minibuses (in the New Territories) and red minibuses (in Kowloon, Hong Kong), and every time they take a minibus, they will have a seat, because there is a law in Hong Kong that minibuses cannot stand. So when one minibus is full, you have to wait for the next one. If you are in a hurry during the rush hour, you will be late.

taxi

Taxis in Hong Kong are divided into green and red. Like minibuses, they are green in the New Territories and red in Hong Kong and Kowloon. I always think that Hong Kong taxi drivers are amazing, because a car can see that they are hung with at least three mobile phones, one for making phone calls, one for listening to the road conditions and one for telling the time.

Dingdingche

Ding-ding car is a classic in Hong Kong, which is very contemporary. Fans who have seen Hong Kong films know that one of the characteristics of old Hong Kong is to sit in a tinkling car and look at the scenery outside the window. It has a sense of the times of returning to old Hong Kong at that time.

steamboat

Ships from Hong Kong sail for the outlying districts of Hong Kong Island, among which Tsim Sha Tsui Island and Hong Kong Island can see the night view of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, which is particularly beautiful.

Hong Kong's economy is developed, and the transportation system here extends in all directions. When we come to Hong Kong, we don't have to worry that we can't find our way. Finally, I hope everyone will have a good trip!
