Hong Kong Taxi

Hong Kong taxi is the taxi in Hong Kong. The word "taxi" is transliterated from the English "Taxi" of taxi. Passengers specify their destination after getting on the bus, and the driver drives directly there. It is a convenient and fast public transportation. The fare is based on the journey and waiting time, and additional charges are required for luggage storage, calling a taxi and using toll roads. There are many taxi stands in various districts in Hong Kong for passengers to wait for taxis, and some parking areas also have some dedicated taxi pick-up and drop-off locations.

Urban taxis

Hong Kong urban taxis are commonly known as red ones, red boats or red chickens. They are so named because their bodies are painted red. Urban taxis can take passengers to and from Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, all places with road connections in the New Territories (including Shenzhen Bay Port, Lok Ma Chau Spur Line Control Point and other border restricted areas), Tung Chung on Lantau Island, Airport Island, North Lantau Island and Disneyland Park, you can also go to Ma Wan from 23:00 pm to 7:00 am; and you can also go to Lok Ma Chau Control Point (Huanggang Port) from 0:00 pm to 6:00 am. Taxis in urban areas, regardless of whether they are open or not, are prohibited from traveling to other areas of Lantau Island (such as Tung Chung Road, South Lantau Island, Discovery Bay, etc.) and outlying islands without land connections (such as Cheung Chau, Peng Chau, Lamma Island, etc.). Urban taxi fares are the highest among the three types of taxis. Due to high demand, there are currently 9,506 taxis on the road.

Lantau taxis can only operate within Lantau Island (including Chek Lap Kok Airport and Disneyland, but excluding Discovery Bay), and the fare is the lowest among the three types of taxis. Since there are still many remote places on Lantau Island that are not connected by driving roads (including: Fen Feng, Chi Chi Wan Peninsula, Er O, Kau Ling Chung, Tai Pak, Pan Yue Wan and Sha Lo Wan, etc.), the demand for taxis is low.

Ferry Services

The pier provides ferry services between Tsim Sha Tsui Star Pier and Hung Hom Pier and is part of the Central Pier. The Central Star Pier is the conventional name. The terminals currently providing this service are Central Pier 7 (used by the Star Star Tsim Sha Tsui route) and Central Pier 8 (used by the Star Hung Hom route at the West Coast berth). The pier that originally provided this service was the dismantled Edinburgh Place Pier. Today's Victoria Harbor has been significantly reduced in area after numerous reclamations, but traffic has become increasingly busy. As a result, the waves are larger than in the past, and smaller ships will become unstable when sailing on the sea.

The Ding Ding Car will swing through the fence, climb up and down the tree trunks with all its strength, and sometimes even shuttle between the branches with its head and feet! You have to fasten your seat belts! The first carriage is usually for Tom Blipper and Maka Baka, the second carriage is for Little Dot and Little Doudou, and the third carriage is usually for Igu Bigu and Wuxi Dixi were in the last carriage, which was generally empty, like an empty room.
