Exploring Hong Kong by Rail
The rail network of Hong Kong, which is functioned by MTR Corporation Limited or MTRC is one of the most modern, efficient and well connected rail systems in the world. The rail network which is considered one of the finest options to discover Hong Kong consists mainly of public transport trains.
For those interested in exploring the historically acclaimed Kowloon routes along with some of the more contemporary areas can do so by taking the MTR East Rail and West Rail lines. The best aspect of the whole idea of exploring Hong Kong by rail is that travellers can do so amidst total comfort.
The journey discovering Hong Kong commences from the well known Tsim Sha Tsui which is a contemporary and lively commercial hub. The journey continues to the remote areas where visitors can get a firsthand experience on how life goes on in rural Hong Kong.
Those who choose to take a ride from the MTR East Rail Line will come across the crowded Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei area. The new towns such as Fanling, Tai Po and Sha Tin can also be explored from this route. Most of these neighbourhoods feature both apartment style blocks along with typical village style homes that reveal the rural livelihoods of these so called ‘New Territories’.
The MTR West Rail Line route is also equally interesting with lots to explore. For instance, travellers will get the chance to discover Yuen Long which belongs to the western New Territories. This route will take visitors through historic pagodas and ancient villages.
A rail ride will give the explorer the chance to discover the hustle and bustle, natural beauty, heritage and culture of Hong Kong. At the end of the journey it is a definite fact that the traveller will realise what an extraordinary place Hong Kong really is.
Travellers can easily explore Hong Kong by rail, and choose to stay at a Hong Kong hotel such as Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong that offers comfort and convenience at its best.
