Rules in force · 9Large suitcases on MTR at 07
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Hong Kong ↗Hong Kong has its own immigration control: entry to Hong Kong does not permit entry to mainland China, and the reverse. Check the Immigration Department list for your passport.
- Hong Kong ↗Buy an Octopus card or use a contactless bank card at MTR gates; single-journey tickets cost the same but queue at machines.
- Hong Kong ↗When Typhoon Signal No. 8 or a Black rainstorm warning is issued, most public transport and many businesses stop: stay where you are and re-plan the next day.
- Hong Kong ↗CBD products are a dangerous drug in Hong Kong since February 2023, and bringing e-cigarettes or heated-tobacco devices into the city is banned: leave both at home.
- Hong Kong SAR ↗Outlying-island ferries run on fixed timetables and are cancelled in typhoon signals: check the return sailing before you go.
- Hong Kong Island and Kowloon ↗Large suitcases on MTR at 07:30–09:30 and 17:30–19:30 are a fight for space and stairs: use the Airport Express racks or a taxi with bags.
- Hong Kong Island and Kowloon ↗Urban taxis are red and cover most of the territory; green and blue taxis serve only their own areas and will not take you across.
