TransportationHong Kong runs a sophisticated system of trains and buses between Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, while 27 ferry routes take care of transportation to outlying islands. By far the most interesting option is the 110-year old trams that breeze through the main islands most iconic areas, and getting on these retro double-deckers will only cost you $0.40. All the aforementioned rides can be paid with a simple tap of the Octopus card, which can be topped up at metro stations and convenience stores. Taxis are also relatively affordable, though it can be hard to convince cab drivers to cross the harbor. Opt for an Uber when all else fails.
