The hardworking people of China prove to the world every day that they also know how to relax and invite you to spend time in the best resorts in Hong Kong, a specialized administrative region.
In its capital, which bears the same name, a kind of piece of paradise has been created for passengers and drivers. Transport in Hong Kong is presented in all possible forms and images, while the system works like a chronometer and there are practically no failures. In the list you can see all familiar and unusual types of local transport means: metro MTR; buses; trams; Taxi; mini-bass; a funicular that takes tourists to Victoria Peak; escalator that works right on the street.
Transportation leader
Naturally, this is the Hong Kong subway, speed, convenience, without problems from the point of view of ecology. True, tourists do not like this type of transport very much, since it does not shine with underground beauties, and it will cost more in terms of cost. Two good things: using the subway you can get to the airport, significantly reducing the revenue from taxi drivers, and one of the subway lines connects Hong Kong with the mainland of China.
Tram in two floors
It is these cute vehicles that have been running around the metropolis for over a hundred years. Naturally, they do not move too fast, but passengers who choose such transport often take their time, on the contrary, they admire the city landscapes passing by. The second part of choosing a tram simply saves money, because it is the cheapest form of transport. High-speed trams run in remote areas of Hong Kong; a trip on them will not bring as much experience as on a cute "ding".
Catch the bus
Unlike the mainland, where buses stop at every stop, in Hong Kong they are more like taxis. The tourist raised his hand - stopped the transport, did not have time to do it, he would have to wave: "Goodbye." The bus payment system is complex and multidimensional, and the cost can vary greatly. Causes:
- the comfort created in the cabin, for example, the presence of air conditioning;
- the distance of the trip, the cost increases when traveling to another area;
- travel through tunnels and bridges, the payment increases.
Tourists try not to use minibuses, as drivers, as a rule, know only their own language, and therefore do not understand guests and their requests to stop.
Take off
In Hong Kong, there is also such an unusual type of transport as a funicular, even two. One of them moves on rails and lifts the tourist to the top of Victoria Peak. It descends very quickly, so that tourists are breathtaking from the speed and angle of inclination, but the beauty overboard remains unattended.
Another funicular will take guests of the city to one of the main attractions, the statue of Buddha, striking in its gigantic size. On the cable car, you can choose one of three cabins: standard, with a transparent bottom, or private.
