Travelling to Hong Kong

  • Delegates can travel to Hong Kong by flying in at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). Other modes of entry by land (e.g., high speed rail, coach) or sea (e.g., high speed ferry, cruise) are also available from many major cities in China, or other ports in Asia.

Transportation

Transportation from the HKG Airport to conference venue

The conference venue, Yasumoto International Academic (YIA) Park, is located in the main campus of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is around 100m away (about 5-min walk) from the MTR (Mass Transit Railways) University Station. The following two routes are recommended for travelling directly from the HKG Airport to the conference venue. If delegates choose to stay at Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin, the routes also apply, because the hotel is just next to the MTR University station. Hyatt Regency Hong Kong is the most recommended hotel. 

1. By Taxi

The easiest way for delegates to travel directly from the airport to the conference venue is by taxi. Delegates can take either the urban taxis (red) or New Territories taxis (green). The fares for New Territories taxis (green) will be cheaper, but these taxis can only operate in certain areas in New Territories district in Hong Kong. Most taxi drivers in Hong Kong are communicable using English.

Estimated travel time: 40 minutes
Estimated cost: HK$340 (urban taxis) / $310 (green taxis)

Under normal traffic, the bus ride takes approximately 50 minutes to the town centre of Shatin. Delegates can then travel to the conference venue from Shatin by taxi or MTR (University Station).

Estimated travel time: 50 minutes (bus ride) + 5 minutes (transit) + 10 minutes (taxi / MTR University Station)
