Hello everyone!
I suggest that people take a look at discoverhongkong.com This is an
official tourist website of HK and they have pretty awesome information

transportation if I had travel companions...

Dear all,

the airport, however I can see the appeal for a no-hassle journey. Expect
around HKD230 for the ride in moderate traffic and a HKD5 surcharge for every
piece of luggage.

I think this is very tricky by public transport, especially if you are
carrying big luggage. It says that you have to change metro lines once and
then change to a bus and then you also hav
Hi all,
With less than 3 weeks to Wikimania, it will be extremely useful if
