What is the best option to get from Hong Kong airport to the Charterhouse Hotel at Causeway Bay? It is my first time in Hong Kong (and even Asia) and I was informed about the trip just today (I will be leaving tomorrow).

Any help is much appreciated.
Oct. 8,2009 00:35 Mr.Alvin(Hong Kong) replied:
There is about 9 hr (12:15 - 21:40). The Airport Express MTR train can take you to and from Airport in a little more than half hour. Since you have only 9 hour, taking MTR (i.e. the underground railway) to SHOPPING areas is the most economical and efficient way. You can also go to Central and take the peak-tram to the peak. Just remind you to get a VISA (or else, I am not quite sure) to enter HK. have a nice trip !

Yes, there are different currencies. In Hong Kong, HKD is the local currency of course. RMB can be used in stores in scenic area or some big shopping centers. But it is easy to find place to exchange money. Still suggest you take HKD if you do not get to mainland China, or pay buy card in case of bring much cash.

I am landing at Hongkong airport at 11:00 AM and have my next flight to SFO at 4:30 PM. Do we have city tours provided by airport? If yes, what is the duration of the tour? If no, Can I get out of airport with US visa? Or I will need to get one from airport? How much does it charge if I need to get one? I just need to go out for 2-3 hours. How far is the famous Buddha's statue?
Sep. 16,2009 21:22 Mr.Shan replied:
I don't think you will have enough time to go to other places from the airport. Even you go to the nearest Buddha's statue, 4~5hours is needed at least. Once you leave the airport, it means that you have to go through the HK customs. immigration and luggage check-in again, all of which will take you a long time. So, it is suggested that you stay in the airport(dining or shopping) during the only 5.5 hours. BTW, if you hold a valid Indian passport, you don't need any visa to visit HK.
Sep. 17,2009 00:36 Mrs.Shweta(India) replied:

Sep. 15,2009 22:06 Mr.Frankie replied:
Will you go to the Hung Hom Station? If so, you could take the Airport Express (Hk$90)and get off at Kowloon. Then, you could take the free shuttle bus K1 to reach Hung Hom directly.
Sep. 15,2009 22:09 Mr.Frankie replied:
Me again~ You also could take the bus A21 at the Ground Transport Center of HK Airport. The bus' terminal is just the Hung Hong Station. Its fare is 33HK$ and takes about 75 minutes on the way.

Sep. 14,2009 21:31 Mr.Jason replied:
By train. Guangzhou East Railway Station has trains to Hong Kong Hung Hom (1 hours and 45 minutes). Than you can change to airport express train from Kowloon to the airport. The entire journey may take 3-4 hours. So, you have little time to get around. One option: Take MTR to Central from Hung Hom then take Bus 15 to the Peak. Then back to Central to take MTR to Kowloon to catch the airport express. Another option: get off at Tung Chung to visit Citygate Outlets for shopping and get around. Then take airport bus to the airport.

Sep. 9,2009 01:36 Mr.Shan replied:
Actually, I don't think you will have enough time to travel to the city center. Even if you take the Airport Express which could take you to Kowloon in 30 minutes with a fare of 90HK$/person, you just have 2 hour at most for visit. Nothing could be done~

There is no direct transport between the airport and Peak Tram located in Central. The fastest one is that you take the Airport Express to Hong Kong (90HK$ and 25 minutes)and then take city-bus 15C to Central or a taxi directly to peak tram station or St. John's Cathedral.
