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.

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

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

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.

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!

Jamie W and I were finishing up dim sum in Tsim Hsa Tsui and decided to hop on the ferry around 8PM. It was close to empty.
