Hong Kong public transport. - coin, public domain photograph

Public transport in Hong Kong is excellent. There are bus routes covering most of the island, frequent ferries between the islands making up the region (The Star Ferry connecting Kowloon to Hong Kong island is a 'must see'), trains into mainland China and the superb MTR underground railway...If you are staying in Hong Kong for a few days, and you intend to use the MTR or other public vehicles as your primary mode of transportation, consider getting an "Octopus" card. It is ultra convenient, and saves you the trouble of carrying lots of coins around. There are various types of Octopus cards available, while Sold Tourist Octopus may be the best choice for tourists as it provides great convenience to you on both transportation and retail purchases during your stay in Hong Kong.
