However, there are a number of lines that you can access, and of course, as is typical with a lot of these stations, you also find yourself in the middle of a shopping centre, especially after you leave the ticket barriers. The problem is that, well, the shops, or should I say kiosks, down here are all geared towards takeaway (or rather grab and go) so their isn't really any place to sit down.

Mong Kok Station in Hong Kong…read more We used this MTR Station the most since it was closest to two Night Markets and there were many shopping and dining opportunities nearby! It was clean and had many exits/entrances. We had to look at all map to make sure we were at the correct exit! We used our Octopus Card - the Hong Kong debit card - to tap into the train area and to tap out of the train area. Remember to load your Octopus Card with a minimum of 50 HK Dollars. We conveniently reloaded at 7-Eleven.

Just decide where you would like to go. Like Sogo. I got off here recently when I return home for a long planned visit. There's even an Apple store within walking distance. I had to go there to ask how to add an app. It's where I usually go to.

A local artist had spent six years creating 12 panels of 3D artwork celebrating daily scenes in Hong Kong - from construction workers laying out a striped tarp with towering skyscrapers as the backdrop to gloved-workers bringing out the mandarin bushes in a crowded intersection. Unbeknown to my friends and me, the lively artwork had been at the station since early 2017. We were pleasantly surprised to come across the colorful depictions of Hong Kong life on a random evening, and we had a blast looking at them. I'd recommend anyone in the area to check them out.

Rejoice: the shiny new MTR station is open in Sai Ying Pun!…read more The first time I accessed this station, I unknowingly walked several blocks out of my way and up, up the hill to the Bonham St. entrance. Never making that mistake again! If you're closer to the harbour like me, all you have to do is walk over to the A2 entrance/exit located on Des Voeux Road West, between Eastern and Wilmer streets. Keep in mind, this station covers an expansive section of real estate, which means you'll walk for a bit to get to the trains and the escalators are the super long ones. Not sure if this is a forever feature, but there are attendants near the C entrance/exit at Bonham Rd, who guide you up and down the elevators... take a breath and relax on them, cause they're driving! All you have to do is follow their directive to a waiting elevator. Being brand new, this station is gloriously clean and at times, eerily empty. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Whatever the case, it's great to finally have a dedicated station to HK's most recognized university. What's important to highlight is that it is modern and supremely clean. The walls are spotless, the bathrooms are cutting edge, and even the info booths look as if in fingerprint free windows. There aren't a lot of exits at the station, which makes it super easy to navigate and there are elevators aplenty. For being the biggest station, it doesn't feel windy or hilly like some others and is fully air conditioned during all hours. Even during the rush hour of the morning, the station never feels too busy. It could be due to the fewer folks on the west side of the island, but I've really never had to deal with crowds like some of the other popular stops along this line. Despite the lack of rush hour crowds, the attendants are still at this station directing people traffic like no other. In all, I look forward to stopping at HKU. It reflects the quiet nature of the neighborhood and will hopefully maintain that "new car smell" for the new few years.

After you arrive you either buy tickets at the station or show them your online reservation (which I believe is not available to foreigners). Then you go through Hong Kong customs and China customs, both at West Kowloon Station. That means you don't need to go through customs again when you arrive China. At the end, the whole process from our arrival to waiting to board took us about 45 mins and it's much faster for local residents. Keep in mind, there's absolutely nothing after you go through customs. No restaurants or stores. Not even vending machines. So bring water and some snacks while you wait to board. The station is brand new and modern. It was our first time but everyone was super helpful and nice.
