1. By taking bus A21, It would cost HKD40. Take it to Shun Tak Centre and  transfer to the shuttle bus provided. Otherwise, airport express is also avaible. That would cost about HKD 100.

2. Airport express and Bus. Recommend travellers to check out the 3 days tourist travel card.

3. Yes. Very. shun tak centre is very near Sheung Wan MTR Station. Tram stations are nearby too.

4. I had a great time. i got to meet people and at the same time, it has reasonable pricing. It's good.

5. The card just works.
