Public
transportation in Hong Kong is very efficient, and getting to
and from HKUST by taxi, the
MTR metro,
or bus is
easy, as is accessibility by car. The map shows you
the main routes connecting Kowloon and Hong Kong island to our
campus.
The main gate of the campus
features a large and easily recognizable sign with the
university's name written in both English and Chinese. Past
the main gate, a gently sloping driveway leads to the entrance
piazza with a large red sundial at its center.
MTR The
Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is an underground subway (metro)
system serving Hong Kong island, Kowloon, and the airport.
The MTR is the easiest way for visitors to
get around Hong Kong. Tickets can be purchased from machines
in the stations on a trip-by-trip basis or you can purchase
multi-use Octopus cards at MTR ticket windows.
The Choi Hung, Lam Tin and Hang Hau MTR
stations are the closest to the University, and you can board
a bus or taxi (details below) to the main entrance of
HKUST.
Taxis Taxis provide the simplest way to get to the
University, and are easily available at any MTR station, from
hotels and most areas of Hong Kong. From the airport, you can
take a taxi at the airport taxi stand and expect to pay
approximately HK$380 (about US$49) for the journey. Note that
only HK dollars will be accepted by your driver.
Print a copy of this page and the map and
bring it with you in case you need to show the route or
University name and address in Chinese to the taxi driver.
The taxi drop-off point on campus is
near the red sundial. For on-campus housing destinations, ask
the security guard at the main gate to give the taxi driver
directions.
