Accommodation

Workshop participant will stay at Harbour Plaza Metropolis (都会海逸酒店)

The hotel is located just next to Hung Hom Train Station.

There are several ways to arrive the hotel from HK airport:

  • By Taxi: From the airport directly to hotel. (Fee: around HKD$250 – $300)

  • By Airport Express: From the airport to Kowloon Station. Then take a free shuttle bus (Route K1), which will stop in front of the hotel. (Free: HKD$90 each)

  • By Airport Bus: Route A21 from the airport to Hung Hom Bus Terminal (The final stop). The hotel is around 7 min walk from the bus station. (Fee: HKD$33 each)

You may find the Map of HK airport and more transportation information in the link.
