You have just 6 hours in Hong Kong? Here is a sample itinerary touring some key
attractions that you can follow on your own.
- get out of the plane and through immigrations and
customs (takes about 1 hour)
- take Airport Express to Hong Kong station (see airport transportation)
(takes
about 1/2 hour)
- take open-top bus to
Peak Tram station (takes about 1/2 hour, wating
incl.)
- ride Peak Tram up to the Victoria Peak (takes about 1/2 hour, but sometimes the
line could be very long and may take 1.5 hours.)
- look around and have a meal there (allow about 1.5 hours)
- take Peak Tram down (takes about 1/2 hour, waiting
incl.)
- ride open-top bus back to Star
Ferry pier in Central
(takes
about 20 minutes, wating incl.)
- ride Star Ferry to Tsim
Sha Tsui (takes about 15 minutes, wating
incl.)
- walk on Tsim Sha Tsui promenade
(allow
about 45 minutes)
- ride Star Ferry back to Central (takes about 15 minutes, wating
incl.)
- ride the Airport Express back to the airport from the "Hong Kong" station
(takes
about 1/2 hour)
- go through immigrations ( allow 1/2 hour)
- shop around inside restricted area of the airport
before boarding (if time permits)
A word of caution: all the times given are very approximate. Besides, there is
walking (the speed of which depends on the individual) and waiting involved; so
watch your time so that you don't miss your flight. Something to encourage you not
to miss your flight: hotel rooms in Hong Kong are very expensive especially when
you don't have advance booking.
