The first thing you need to know about the taxi system in Hong Kong is that there are three types of taxis in Hong Kong although you'll probably encounter one type of taxi only outside the airport.
The Urban Taxis (in red) go to every road in Hong Kong except the southern part of Lantau (the large island south of the airport) where it is only served by the Lantau Taxis (in blue). There's also a type of taxi called the New Territories Taxis (in green) which serve most but not all of the New Territories. For your journey to your accommodation you'd have to choose the Urban Taxis. All taxis have meters and you're obligated to pay the fare on the meter. Please note that surcharges such as tolls and luggage will have to be paid on top of the metered fare and the driver will add them at the end of the journey. Details about the taxi fare can be found here: http://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/public_transport/taxi/taxi_fare_of_hong_kong/index.html There are very clear signs at the airport arrival hall to lead you to the taxi stand, make sure you choose the Urban Taxi line as other types of taxi can't bring you to Kowloon. As I said, further information would be written by the Organisers this week so stay tuned.
