Transportation in Hong Kong?
I am an exchange student in Hong Kong, new to the area. My new host family is probably in Discovery Bay, Lantau Island. My school is in Stanley (south HK island.) If someone who is familiar with the HK transportation system could help answer me, thank you so much. It is tough being in a new country all alone. How would I get to school? What's the fastest way? I already know that they are far from each other.. >_< Thanks!

The fastest way is to take D Bay's ferry to Central and from there, take the No. 6 bus from the bus terminal which will take you all the way to Stanley. D Bay's ferry offers a monthly pass which is cheaper than buying the fare twice daily. If you can catch both the ferry and the bus in time, it should take you around an hour to get to your school. The No 6 bus ride has one of the best views in HK, riding pass the most luxurious houses and apartments including the residences of the US Consul-General in HK and the richest Chinese on earth, Mr Li Ka Shing. D Bay is a very unique residential area spread across a S W portion of the Lantau Island, the biggest island of the 200+ islands in HK. D Bay is owned by a private developer who literally build up the entire area from barren. It has its own reservoir, golf course, club house and shopping centre, restaurants and a private beach. Cars from the city cannot enter into the area which makes it very private and exclusive. Check www.DiscoverHongKong.com and enjoy your stay!
