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

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.

It was clean and had many exits/entrances. We had to look at all map to make sure we were at the correct exit!

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.
