How to Travel from Hong Kong Airport to Tsim Sha Tsui
 |
1. Fast Airport Express + MTR: about 50 minutes, HKD 73
It’s the first option for business travelers requiring an accurate timetable and tourists with a tight schedule, for example, if you plan to go downtown with a not long transit at Hong Kong Airport.
Step 1. Take Airport Express to Tsing Yi Station;
Step 2. Transfer to Tung Chung Line and get off at Lai King Station;
Step 3. Interchange to Tsuen Wan Line and get off at Tsim Sha Tsui Station.
2. Economic Way - Direct Airport Bus: about 55 - 100 min, HKD 23.8 - 40.8
Most passengers choose the airport shuttle bus A21 or A25 with distinctive stops in Tsim Sha Tsui to reach popular destinations even their hotels without any transfer. Besides, it’s not difficult to take the bus even if you carry large-sized baggage, as those buses are all equipped with a special luggage rack.
A21 takes about 70 minutes with more stops, while A25 needs only 55 minutes, but with a longer interval and fewer departures.
If you land in Hong Kong at midnight, night express bus lines N21 and N21A are workable. The two operate with the same route but at different times. About 100 minutes are needed for a single journey for both.
