Off-beat Hong Kong Tour by MTR Quiz

Answer: Kowloon

The Airport Express stations of Kowloon and Hong Kong are connected to shuttle services to take you straight to major hotels. Tsim Sha Tsui is the prime tourist area on the Kowloon side of the harbour, so it's Kowloon station you want. Tsim Sha Tsui station is not on the Airport Express line.

Answer: Sunny Bay

The themed trains also feature handle straps in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head, and statues of Disney characters. Oh-so-cute or over the top? You decide.

Answer: Wong Tai Sin (The immortal Wong)

Hong Kong is busy and over-developed, but it's not difficult to slip back in time by visiting the many temples dotted all over the city, and listen to chants of devotion and the plaintive rattling of divination instruments.

Tin Hau is also a deity, but is the goddess of the sea who protects fishermen and sailors.

Answer: Wan Chai

Wan Chai station is also where you would get off for the Convention and Exhibition Centre, Academy for Performing Arts, and, yes, if you want to paint the town very red at night.

Answer: Central

Central was historically known as Victoria, the seat of the British colonial government and the earliest western settlement in 1841. It is the central business district of Hong Kong, and one of the most cosmopolitan areas in this city of mainly Chinese population - in other words, a "gwailo" (foreigner) enclave.

Answer: Prince Edward

There must be over a hundred florists packed into these few blocks. The explosion of colours and scents is worth the visit. There's no time to stop and smell the roses, however, because the human traffic is incredible ... As for the Bird Market - Westerners may find the crowded habitats rather uncomfortable to watch, but it merely reflects the density of human population in this city, such as the traffic congestion in nearby Prince Edward Road.

Answer: Kowloon Tong

Kowloon Tong is a busy interchange, because the East Rail goes straight to Lo Wu on the Chinese border, the primary entry point to the mainland. Tourists can keep things simple and fly into China, but you get a much more genuine feel of the lives of the locals if you join them on the overland train.

Mei Foo is an interchange for the West Rail line; Mong Kok East and East Tsim Sha Tsui are stations on the East Rail line, but are not MTR stations, and so there is no easy change over available.

Answer: Causeway Bay

Causeway Bay is a congested hub of transport, restaurants and shops from high end Japanese fashion to bargain basements and dingy flea markets. Happy Valley is a high end area where celebrities hang around. Personally, bargains hold much more fascination for me, and I have never set foot in Happy Valley.

Answer: Ocean Park and Aberdeen

The more densely populated Aberdeen would be well served by a railway line. The other option for residents is take buses and minibuses through the Aberdeen tunnel to the north of the island, or via the long route round the west of the island.

Answer: Both Kowloon and Hong Kong stations

Hong Kong International Airport is a great airport, it has come first in Skytrax's World Airport Award a number of times, and one of the reasons for this, I would guess, is the convenience and efficiency of the Airport Express.
