#hongkong #westkowloon is a nice place for first-time Hong Kong visitors. It makes for a convenient base to get around the city. When we entered, we felt like taken back in time though after having been to cities like #shenzhen and #chengdu . The city life in general feels a bit rougher, it‘s noisy and - of course - expensive. Hotspots like #hollywoodroad and #victoriapeak do habe their charme. You need to decide yourself if you want to sacrifice and comfort with your accommodation when travelling on a budget.

very nice place to chill out with friend and family

Nice view from HK

West Kowloon Park always offers excellent installation throughout the year. In March and early April this year, the Kowloon West Fun Festival displays lovely bubbles in the harbor-front lawn of the park. A design studio, Atelier Sisu from Australia, creates the bubbles. I came here at night, and it was refreshing to immerse the bubbles with different light colors while enjoying the sea breeze. Spring is amazing. #art #festival #hongkong #spring

A short ride on the high speed train from Hong Kong West Kowloon station can bring you to many places within China. However, under their different immigration systems, you will have to clear both the Hong Kong and China immigration. Both entry and exit point will require arrival cards so bring a pen with you and fill in your details. It is easier for local citizens to cross border using their identity cards but for tourists will have to use passports and arrival cards. It is a bit troublesome but since there are different systems in the same place then we will have to oblige with them. #WinHKFlight #liveyourdreams #takethattrip #hongkong

At the top of the stairs, I spotted a traffic light, indicating that even amidst the bustling crowd, there was still an order and a system in place to control the flow of traffic. It was a reminder of Hong Kong's efficient infrastructure and its ability to accommodate the large number of people moving through the city. Overall, the image of the busy street captures the essence of Hong Kong perfectly - a vibrant and dynamic city that never rests. It showcases the city's energy, diversity, and constant movement, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who experiences it. #Hong kong

This is the new train station in Hong Kong called West Kowloon Station. It is accessible by Austin MTR and it contains a high speed rail that reaches Futian District in Shenzhen within 15 minutes and reaches Guangzhou in an hour. It is operated by China Railways and the building is absolutely beautiful and well-designed #hongkong #kowloon #architecture #trainstation

🚇 Transportation: West Kowloon is connected to the MTR Austin Station (Austin in English, it’s so weird to use a name, haha). Remember to look at the high-speed rail sign when you leave the station! The one with the sign is Exit C! Then just follow the signs! It'll be there in less than 5 minutes . ⏰ Entry time: You can swipe the ticket purchase certificate at the entrance gate to verify entry, but remember! You need to arrive 30 minutes before the train leaves, mainly because you are afraid of taking a long time to cross the border, so it is better to reserve 30 minutes. I just arrived 20 minutes ago that day, so I couldn't swipe my ID and had to go to manual verification. When verifying, I was reminded that I might not be able to catch the bus and would have to buy a new ticket. . ✅Smooth pass Because there were few people that day, it only took me about 10 minutes and I passed the test smoothly! However, it is recommended that you still reserve more time. It will be really miserable if you fail to catch the bus. It is very simple to pass the customs. Those who pass through Hong Kong first and then the mainland can use electronic documents to verify their fingerprints. ㊙ After passing the customs, there are some duty free places where you can buy things. If you have time, you can go shopping. . 📝Material 1️⃣ Prepare the customs declaration code in advance (important!!️ It can save a lot of time) 2️⃣Certificates . 🚄 High speed rail About 10 minutes ago, the high-speed rail would urge everyone to get on the train and stop checking in (but I don’t know when it finally stopped). I was basically the last one in the line to get on. It is recommended to go a little earlier . In fact, it basically takes me about 10 minutes to cross the high-speed train at the station, which is quite fast, but this is really because there are fewer people now! It is not recommended that everyone reserve so little time. After all, we don’t know how many people will pass through. It is better to arrive half an hour in advance. # Mainland #Hong Kong
