This station allows to catch trains heading in the same direction that you are heading, but the thing is that when I do the maths (for want of a better word) it is going to be tricky.

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.

So, this is another metro station, and like a lot of them, they are actually good for crossing the…read moreroads, so you don't need to wait for ages for the traffic on Nathan Road to get from one side to the other. Oh, and there are some good bars around here as well, which is surprising for a place that isn't actually a touristy area.

REVIEWER # 2 For all…read morethe transportation's and subways in the bay area I would like to introduce you to Hong Kong MTR! Definitely take the time to take notes because the U.S.A can definitely learn something from this amazing, convenient and efficient transportation system in Hong Kong! Prine Edward seems to be the transfer station for Kwun Tong Line but also the station to get off if you are interested in doing some market shopping! Flower Market, Bird Market, Meat Market and Ladies market is located on this line! Very convenient and a short walking distance from each other! Make sure to exit B. This area also has some great food joints located nearby. Its also walking distance from the Mong Kok station as well! My first time visiting Hong Kong and I was able to go everywhere I needed by using the MTR. Never did I have to use a Taxi because the trains come every 2-3 mins and it opens super early and closes super late! Trains here are very convenient and easy to navigate, please note that during rush hours it does get crowded and people are crazy! Whoo. They push, tug and shove you to make sure they can get into the train. The signs and maps are all in English as well as Cantonese so it's really easy to get around on your own. The MTR seems to go all over the Hong Kong Island. There does seem to be a lot of walking when changing line so be prepared to walk. They are NOT lying when they say that Hong Kong has a huge population! There are people everywhere at ALL times of the day and night. So be prepared for the crowds and you may miss a train or two because of it being over crowded. Don't worry, they come very frequently! OCTOTPUS CARD: This was the BEST thing Hong Kong could have ever thought about! Get an Octopus Card as soon as you arrive and you will good after that! What is an Octopus Card you may ask? It's a card that you can store money and use on buses, trains and in convenient stores such as 7-Eleven! This saves you so much time during the boarding time. You purchase one during your stay in Hong Kong and before you depart you turn it back in and get your refunds of your deposit back when you return the card. (Not a bad deal!) TIPS FOR FIRST TIME RIDERS: When going up the escalator, walk on the left and stand on the right. This will help risk people motioning for you to move out the way and the risk of the displeasure of everyone behind you! I am happy to say that I have witnessed the most AMAZING transportation in the world! Hong Kong indeed has the BEST transportation! I definitely recommend for anyone coming here to take this rather than a Taxi! REVIEW 224/196

This was the last station that I decided to check out, namely because I really was getting a bit…read moretired of running around Hong Kong and wanted to get home (for reasons). So, yeah, it was pretty much like many of the other stations, but yeah, the colour coding is pretty cool because it means that you can work out which station you are at without seeing the signs, though you do need to be familiar with the stations.

Causeway Bay is a primary shopping district in Hong Kong that has plenty of retail stores as well…read moreas other shopping to offer like department stores (Sogo, etc.). There's even an Ikea. Also plenty of restaurants nearby that you can eat at. Even an Outback. You won't be disappointed. Trust me! It's so easy as the first when you get off is signs. 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.

Yep, once again, this is pretty much the same as most of the other stations, especially the ones…read morewhich only serve a single line. The thing is that while there are kiosks down here (as there are with pretty much all of the stations) they aren't as extensive as some of the larger stations, and after a while you pretty much become familiar with the shops therein. One annoying thing is that the Octopus card only takes cash, and you can only charge it up in sets of fifty (which makes it annoying because my cousin told me that you used to be able to throw all of your small change onto it).

While this station was the closest to our hotel, it was also the bane of my existence…read more Stairs and steps. It was never ending...at one point I thought I got through all the steps, but nope! Another staircase waiting for ne. Unfortunately this station was probably one of the busier ones so people were always bumping into each other too.

The MTR Mong Kok East Station is one of the stops on the East Rail Line which can take you to…read moreFestival Walk (Kowloon Tong) and New Town Plaza (Sha Tin). Hung Hom Station is just one stop south of this station. You can also go from this station all the way to the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. The location of the station is very convenient as it is connected to Grand Century Place shopping mall. If you need to get to MTR Mong Kok Station from here, take the Grand Century Place exit and walk across the footbridge above the streets from Mong Kok to get to that station. The inside of this station has a few shops, but relatively few compared to other stations nearby. This is more of a station you take to visit Mong Kok itself or walk to get to Mong Kok Station to take another train elsewhere. I like the convenience of this station. It is not as crowded as Mong Kok Station so if you need to head to Mong Kok, I would recommend using this station if you can. It is far less chaotic.

I did make a statement that this was my local station, or it was when I was in Hong Kong years ago,…read moreand that was because I wasn't yet staying at different hotels. Anyway, it provides an interchange between two lines, but it isn't cross platform, probably because one of the lines used to terminate here, but that it no longer the case. It's fairly typical, but it does get crowded, but that is pretty much what to expect from a Hong Kong station.

Navigating this station is neither pleasant or unpleasant. While a lot of the hallways are a bit too narrow for comfort you will find that you're still walking quite quickly despite the crowd that's walking alongside you. This station has the older ticketing equipment, but there's nothing wrong with that, and it's a lot less hectic than nearby Mong Kok station, which is literally a 5 minute walk from Yau Ma Tei station. This station is also an interchange station between the Tsuen Wan and Kwun Tong Line. Regardless of which direction you're traveling, you have the best chance of finding a seat in Kwun Tong Line trains if you board from this station

I guess that is one of the reasons they managed to build such an extensive metro system so quickly. The other cool thing is that there are multiple exits, making it a decent way to get to the station without having to brave the elements, or have to deal with waiting at lights. Sure, they aren't impressive like some, but they are functional, and the trains are pretty frequent as well.
