Hong Kong’s underground railway Hong Kongs Mass Transit Railway (MTR) underground network is the fastest way to get around the city, but what you gain in speed you lose in views and (at least for short distances) price. There are five lines, with the most important ones for visitors being the busy Tsuen Wan Line (red), which tunnels from Central to \o Hong Kong/Kowloon Kowloon and down Nathan Road towards Tsuen Wan in the \o Hong Kong/New Territories New Territories and the Island Line (blue) which runs along the north coast of the Island. The new Tung Chung Line (orange) is the fastest route to Lantau and one of the cheapest ways to the airport when coupled with the S1 shuttle bus stationed at Tung Chung MTR station. The line also provides a link to Hong Kong Disney Land via a change at Sunny Bay station. Every MTR station has one Hang Seng Bank branch (except for the massive Hong Kong/Central station, which has two). Because theyre a common feature, unambiguous and easy to find, theyre a good place to tell people to meet you. Note that in Hong Kong, a subway is an underground walkway, not an underground railway, as in most English speaking countries outside of North America. While most of the trains travel underground, there are also stations whose trains travel above raised platforms.
