Transportation

City University is located in Kowloon, only a few minutes walk from the MTR (Mass Transit Rail) and KCR (Kowloon-Canton Railway), Hong Kong’s inexpensive and efficient public transportation lines that provide easy access throughout the peninsula and the new territories. The famous Star Ferry shuttles regularly across beautiful Victoria Harbor to Hong Kong Island.


City Life and Travel

Hong Kong offers an abundance of cultural resources and entertainment—museums, theaters, art galleries, and restaurants of every variety. Because it is so easy and inexpensive to travel, you will also want to explore beyond the cosmopolitan city. More than 70 percent of Hong Kong is woodland, grass, and scrub. There are beaches, fishing villages, and rural communities where life has gone unchanged for centuries. While most of Hong Kong’s 235 outlying islands are uninhabited, others offer cultural treasures, such as the Po-Lin Monastery on Lantau.
