Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to arrive at City Garden Hotel North Point from Hong Kong International Airport.
Since I was trying to save some money, instead of taking the Airport Shuttle from HK Airport to City Garden Hotel North Point, I wanted to take the Airport Express instead. The Airport Bus shuttle would cost $140 one way, a total of $280 roundtrip. The Airport Express, on the other hand, would cost $180 roundtrip, or just $90 one way. From the HK Station I could then take the MTR to Fortress Hill station, at an estimated cost of around $4.40. Total would then be $188.80 via the Airport Express, saving me almost $100 per person! There were 3 of us, so $100x3 = $300 HKD savings! Go!
So there I was googling the "how" of actually trying to walk to City Garden hotel from the MTR station. Based on some travel sites, it's really just a short walk, from 10 to 3 minutes. There was even a site that said it was "just a minute's" walk:
Reading more closely, no one really did describe "how" to walk from the MTR station. Since I've got a two-year old with me and another possibly irritable adult, I didn't want to take the chance of being unprepared and lost. Thank God for GoogleMaps!
Fairly straightforward huh! Looks quite a bit far, but fairly straightforward. But wait...here's another set of directions I got from someone who's already there:- Take the exit to King's Road
- Take the footbridge beside the exit and walk to the end (Market), and down to Electric Road
- The hotel is on the toher side and entrance is around the corner
