You have just 4 hours in Hong Kong? That is not much especially since the
airport is a ways from urban Hong Kong. But here is a sample itinerary touring some
key attractions that you can run through on your own.
- get out of the plane and through immigrations and
customs (takes about 1 hour)
- take Airport Express to Hong Kong station (see airport transportation)
(takes
about 1/2 hour)
- walk to Star Ferry pier
(takes
about 20 minutes)
- ride Star Ferry to Tsim
Sha Tsui (takes about 15 minutes, wating
incl.)
- walk on Tsim Sha Tsui promenade
(stay for
only 15 minutes)
- ride Star Ferry back to Central (takes about 15 minutes, wating
incl.)
- walk back to Airport Express station (takes about 20 minutes)
- ride the Airport Express back to the airport from the "Hong Kong" station
(takes
about 1/2 hour)
- go through immigrations ( allow 1/2 hour)
- run to the gate for boarding
A word of caution: this is a very agressive tour requiring you to move fast, and
all the times given are very approximate. So watch your time so that you don't miss
your flight. Something to encourage you not to miss your flight: hotel rooms in
Hong Kong are very expensive especially when you don't have advance booking.
