Rules in force · 6Large suitcases on MTR at 07
- Hong Kong ↗Hong Kong has its own immigration control: entry to Hong Kong does not permit entry to mainland China, and the reverse. Check the Immigration Department list for your passport.
- Hong Kong ↗Buy an Octopus card or use a contactless bank card at MTR gates; single-journey tickets cost the same but queue at machines.
- Hong Kong ↗When Typhoon Signal No. 8 or a Black rainstorm warning is issued, most public transport and many businesses stop: stay where you are and re-plan the next day.
- Hong Kong SAR ↗Outlying-island ferries run on fixed timetables and are cancelled in typhoon signals: check the return sailing before you go.
- Hong Kong Island and Kowloon ↗Large suitcases on MTR at 07:30–09:30 and 17:30–19:30 are a fight for space and stairs: use the Airport Express racks or a taxi with bags.
- Hong Kong Island and Kowloon ↗Urban taxis are red and cover most of the territory; green and blue taxis serve only their own areas and will not take you across.

Lock the area first. Hotel search links appear only after you decide where the pillow is — so no listing can pull you into the wrong area.
