Getting to the Kowloon Tong campus

From Hong Kong International Airport

  • A taxi straight to the Kowloon Tong campus takes about 30 minutes (the figure given on CityU's campus information page).

From Shenzhen (Lo Wu border crossing)

  • Clear immigration at Lo Wu, take the MTR East Rail Line to Kowloon Tong Station — about HK$35.80 and roughly 40 minutes — then walk as above.

From Hong Kong Island (Central area)

  • Take the MTR to Kowloon Tong Station: about HK$11.40 and roughly 25 minutes.

Campus opening hours

  • The campus is open to CityU Smart Card holders (staff and their family members, and students) from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm daily.
  • The campus operates crowd-control measures, so visitors invited by a department must apply in advance before they can come in.
