You can also check in your flights and luggages at either station. MTR fares and tourist package information is available at MTR Website.

If you cross a harbor tunnel by taxi, you need to pay round trip tolls. Taxi does not stop at curbside with double yellow line.

If you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can get a disposable SIMM card at 7-Eleven and convert it to a local cell phone. 

A 10% service charge is usually added to your food bill except fast food restaurants, Cha Chaan Teng’s and most noodle shops.
