How to Get Around Hong Kong from Hung Hom: Stations, MTR and Onward Routes

Hung Hom and Whampoa are the two MTR stations to compare for journeys from this part of Kowloon. Hung Hom is served by the East Rail and Tuen Ma lines; Whampoa is served by the Kwun Tong Line.

MTR identifies Exit C as the nearest exit to its Digital Service Kiosk on both lines at Hung Hom. The station-area map marks bus and minibus stops, taxi stands, ferry locations, cross-harbour bus stops, lifts, footbridges, exits and wheelchair-accessible entrances. That can help you orient yourself before choosing a connection beyond the station.

Hung Hom also has barrier-free features, including same-level access at Exits A1, B1, C1, C2, C3, D1 and D5, and lifts in the unpaid area at Exits A, B2, C1, C3 and the subway. The station has wide gates, portable or movable ramps, multi-purpose areas, and accessible toilets in both paid and unpaid areas.

The MTR gives you different line choices at Hung Hom and Whampoa, so choose your station by the line you need rather than treating them as interchangeable. Hung Hom connects to the East Rail and Tuen Ma lines, while Whampoa is on the Kwun Tong Line.

For fares between selected origin and destination stations, use the MTR Trip Planner. If you change to the East Rail Line at Hung Hom and want to travel in First Class, validate your Octopus at the station’s First Class Processor before boarding.

Octopus is used by tapping it on the fare-deducting readers at MTR ticket gates. If you are checking a route on a Hong Kong metro map, match the destination to the relevant line and confirm the fare and service details with MTR before setting out.

Airport-bound Citybus routes provide another option from the Hung Hom and Whampoa area. Citybus serves A22 between the airport and Lam Tin Station, with Hung Hom among its service areas and stops; A25 runs between the airport and Kai Tak, with Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom included; E23/E23A runs between the airport and Tsz Wan Shan (South), serving Hung Hom and Whampoa.

The MTR street-map leaflet for Hung Hom also marks nearby bus and minibus stops, taxi stands, ferry locations and cross-harbour bus stops. Use those map details to identify the relevant connection around the station, then confirm the operator’s current route information before travelling.

For Hong Kong International Airport, the hotel is about 55 minutes away by car. The Hong Kong International Airport transfer options cover the trip to Kowloon Harbourfront Hotel.

The MTR Tourist Day Pass costs HK$75 for adults and HK$35 for children. It allows one day of unlimited travel on the MTR, Light Rail and MTR Bus, but excludes Airport Express, East Rail Line First Class, and travel to or from Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau.

The pass’s “any one day” means 24 consecutive hours from the recorded entry time of your first MTR journey. It is restricted to tourists who have been in Hong Kong for less than 14 days when they buy it. Check whether the exclusions and eligibility fit your planned journeys before purchasing.

Whampoa’s station opening hours are 06:00–01:10. First and last trains from Whampoa toward Tiu Keng Leng are 0610 and 0040, and toward Kwun Tong they are 0610 and 0100.

MTR advises passengers not to pass through the entry gates less than 5 minutes before the scheduled last-train departure. Service details and fares can change, so check the official site before you go.

For airport journeys, compare the Citybus routes with your destination: A22 serves Hung Hom on its route between the airport and Lam Tin Station, A25 includes Hung Hom between the airport and Kai Tak, and E23/E23A serves both Hung Hom and Whampoa on its route between the airport and Tsz Wan Shan (South).

For a local outing, the Hong Kong Museum of History is about an 18-minute walk from Kowloon Harbourfront Hotel. The Hong Kong Museum of History visit guide covers planning a visit.

For each trip, settle on the destination first, then check the MTR Trip Planner for station-to-station fares or the relevant bus operator for route details. Station maps around Hung Hom also identify onward connections such as ferry locations and cross-harbour buses.

The Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is about a 14-minute walk from the hotel, with its waterfront route outlined in this guide to walking from Hung Hom to the promenade.
