How to get to Sai Kung

Tucked away on the eastern end of the peninsula, transportation to Sai Kung from the city centre requires some effort. Nonetheless, there are plenty of options for getting to town if you know where to look. From the MTR to double-decker bus and the infamous Mong Kok minibus (watch out for its speed), here are all the ways you can get to Sai Kung from Central and Kowloon.

By MTR

Unfortunately, there are no MTR stations that will get you directly to Sai Kung. Well, not yet anyway. The closest station is Hang Hau Station. Alternatively, you can get off at Mong Kok Station or Choi Hung Station to take a minibus to Sai Kung. 

Hang Hau Station

Take the MTR to Hang Hau on the Tseung Kwan O (Purple) Line and proceed to take a minibus at the bus station next to the MTR exit.

Mong Kok Station

Take the MTR to Mong Kok Station on the Tseun Wan (Red) Line and proceed Dundas Street where you’ll find a red minibus that will take you straight to Sai Kung.

Choi Hung Station

Reach Choi Hung station on the Kwun Tong (Green) Line and proceed to the C2 exit. Take the 1A minibus to Sai Kung.
