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.

Kwai Fong Station is among one of the older stations on the MTR Network, and it's also one of the…read morefew where the MTR operates on elevated tracks. That being said, this station unlike most of the others is not air conditioned. On the contrary, that's not too much of a problem since this station is serviced by the Tsuen Wan Line, so trains tend to come every 2 minutes. Over the several decades that this station has been in service, ridership numbers have grown drastically as the area around the station boomed into a densely populated residential and commercial area as well as a major transit interchange offering bus services to new territories districts like Tin Shui Wai, Tsing Yi, Tsuen Wan, and by bus transfers, Yuen Long and Tuen Mun. As a result, this station is often very busy, and having to line up very briefly to use the fare gates can be a regular occurrence. While a lot of people do board and exit the train at this station, you will more often than not be able to board the first train that arrives since the surrounding districts around Kwai Fong tend to prefer buses over the MTR, unlike the rest of the areas that this line serves. Being the transit cheapskate I am, I try to find the best possible deal for commuting, and I'm sad to say this station is not served by any $2 discount octopus card fare savers. Being someone who works in Kwai Fong but lives in Hong Kong, I went with the City Saver Card offered by the MTR, which has greatly lowered my commute costs. It can admittedly be a bit awkward to use since I'd have to find a turnstile that has a ticket slot to scan the ticket on exit, which occasionally means I get shoved by an impatient commuter standing behind me, but that definitely made my trip on the MTR much more affordable.

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 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 found this station to be very convenient. I would take a bus from Ma On Shan to Sha Tin so I could travel into the city. The train station entrance is close to the bus terminal so I could easily catch the next bus back to home base. The station is also located next to two malls, Citylink Plaza and New Town Plaza. Very convenient if you are trying to get a number of shopping errands done at once. As for the station itself, I didn't find it too hectic. It is far enough out of the city that it does not get too unruly. Though when you exit at this station, it can get crowded with people taking the same escalator up. If you can handle some walking, there is a staircase further down the platform that is hardly used. As a feeder station to other parts of the New Territories, I commend the great public planning done. Particularly how short the walking distance from Sha Tin Station to the malls and the bus terminal was.
