Transport in Hong Kong
Hardworking Chinese people every day prove to the world that they, too, know how to relax and invite you to spend time at the best resorts in Hong Kong, specialized administrative district.
Its capital city, which bears the same name, created a kind piece of paradise for passengers and drivers. Transport in Hong Kong is represented in all possible forms and images, the system works as a chronometer and failures are rare. In the list you can see all the familiar and unusual local transport vehicles: the underground MTR; buses; trams; cab; mini-bass; funicular that raises tourists Victoria Peak; escalator, who works on the street.
Leader traffic
Naturally, this MTR, speed, convenience, without any problems from the point of view of ecology. However, this form of transport tourists are not very fond of, because the beauty of the underground he does not shine, and the cost will be more expensive. Two good points: using the subway you can get to the airport, significantly reducing the revenue from taxi drivers and one of the subway lines connecting Hong Kong to mainland China.
Tram in two floors
It was so cute vehicles ply the metropolis for over a hundred years. They move, of course, not too fast, but passengers who choose this transportation, more often than not in a hurry, on the contrary, admire the swimming by the urban landscape. The second part of choosing a tram just save money, because it is the cheapest form of transport. In remote areas of Hong Kong cruising speed trams, ride on them will not bring as many impressions as on the lovely "ding".
Catch the bus!
In contrast to the mainland, where the buses stop at every stop in Hong Kong, they are more like a taxi. Tourist raised hand - stopped the vehicles did not have time to do it, will have to wave "bye." The payment system on buses complex and multidimensional, the cost can be very different. The Reasons:
Comfort, created in the cabin, for example, the presence of air conditioners;
trip distance, the cost increases when you travel to another area;
toll tunnels and bridges, pay increases.
Minibus tourists tend not to use it, as drivers tend to know only their own language, and therefore do not understand the guests and their requests to stop.
Go to take off
In Hong Kong, there is such an unusual form of transport as a funicular, even two. One of them is moving on rails and lifts to the top of the peak tourist Victoria. He goes down very quickly, so that tourists from breathtaking speed and angle, but the beauty behind left unattended.
Another cable car will bring guests to one of the main attractions, the statue of the Buddha, impresses with its gigantic size. The cable car offers a choice of three cabins: standard, having a transparent bottom or private.
