What do you recommend as the best way to get from the airport to Regal Kowloon Hotel in Hong Kong? How long a ride will it be? About how much should it cost if we take a taxi? Alternatively, does the hotel provide transportation to the hotel from the airport?
Jul. 6,2009 19:23 Mr.Robert Lee(USA) replied:
I think I can give you some hint. Take a taxi from the airport to the Regal Kowloon Hotel which takes about 45 minutes and approximately HK$300.00 (include tunnel fees). Most people in Hongkong can speak English. Please do not worry about it.
We (5 of us) will be arriving in Hongkong on Sept. 2 and would like to go first to Shenzen from the airport and stay there for 2 nights before returning to Hongkong for another 4 nights. What would be the inexpensive best means of transport?
You may take the airport shuttle bus to the railway station upon your arrival in Hong Kong, then take an express train between Hongkong and Shenzhen, very convenient and economical.
The transportation in Hong Kong is very convenient and one can travel easily by himself. You can take the Skypier from HK Int'l Airport to Shenzhen/Shekou Port upon arrival. It takes around 30-40 mins and departs in every hour. The ticket is around USD25.00 per person.
We have a question regarding the free Regal Kowloon hotel shuttle bus to/from Hong Kong Intern. airport. Does the free shuttle bus go directly to the hotel? And where at the airport do you board the Regal Kowloon shuttle bus?
The shuttle bus Regal Kowloon Hotel will transfer the clients to the hotel directly. To board the shuttle bus, you just go to the B14 counter of the airport and there will be the staff the hotel to lead you for boarding.
Is there a way to get a visa once in Hong Kong? Online they require at least a week in advance and i am leaving for Hong Kong on tuesday...

Yes, you can apply for your Visa when you are in Hongkong. Just make sure that you will take all the required documents for Visa application with you, and it takes about 3 working days for the process. Here you can check their website. http://www.fmcoprc.gov.hk/eng/
I have china and thailand visa. i applied for Hong Kong visa. but i couldn't get the visa till now. can i visit the hong kong during my travel? and how? kindly give me some help. my tour starts with 17th jun. to thailand. and 28th to china.
To the best of my knowledge, non-visa is required for visiting Hong Kong if you stay there during the Visa free periods. I suggest you contact your local Chinese Embassy or Consulate to check the duration of the visa free periods to Hong Kong.
The seats can not be pre-booked on the planes in China. You can go to the airport a little bit earlier to ask your preferred seats when changing your boarding card.
We are scheduled to take express train from Guangzhou to Hong Kong. Does train stop near Regal Kowloon Hotel. Can we walk to hotel or is the shuttle necessary?
Jun. 10,2009 00:54 Mr.Daniel(US) replied:
I have stayed in the Regal Kowloon Hotel once, it is within walking distance from the Kowloon-Canton Railway and Mass Transit Railway stations, so you won't have any problem to get to the hotel from the railway station.
When we reach Hong Kong, is it better (for first time travelers to HK) to stay in Kowloon or Hong kong? Is it difficult to go back and forth from Kowloon to Hong Kong?
Jun. 2,2009 22:11 Lily replied:
Hong Kong is divided into the Kowloon Island and Hong Kong Island. Most of the hotels are located in the Kowloon Island and most business centers are dotted in the Hong Kong Island. You'd better stay in the Kowloon Island. In addition, for the transportation from Hong Kong to Kowloon, it is very convenient for you to ride a Star Ferry back and forth.
Can you give us some idea how far the Hongkong City View Hotel is from the airport and how much we should expect to pay for a taxi or is there a shuttle bus?
Jun. 1,2009 08:55 Paul replied:
It is about 35 km from the airport to the City View hotel. It takes about 45 minutes to take a taxi for the cost around HKD300.00 (include tunnel fees). Or you may consider the following ways as well.
Airport Express: A high speed rail service operated daily from 05:54 hrs. to 00:48 hrs. Charge: HK $90 per person; Alight at Kowloon Station and take a taxi to the House.

Nana, Hong Kong offers easy access for self exploration tour that the English signposts and well-constructed transportations are nearly everywhere to be found. You will never have the feeling of loneliness or helplessness there. The shuttle buses run regularly between the airport and the hotel, you may also choose the Airport Express from the airport till the Kowloon station. The staff there almost can speak English. I think you can manage your HongKong by yourself.
