4 Days in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

We flew from Shanghai to Hong Kong and, upon arrival at the airport, we immediately went to the information counter and a helpful volunteer advised us to buy an Octopus travel card which could be used on all buses, metro and ferries. The Metro or MTR (Mass Transit Railway) system is super efficient and comparable to the London Underground... but on steroids! Travel is cheap, trains are frequent and punctual plus all stations are spotlessly clean and safe. The Hong-Kongese apparently don鈥檛 walk anywhere!
