Dear all, It would be rather expensive to travel to the dorms directly through taxi from the airport, however I can see the appeal for a no-hassle journey. Expect around HKD230 for the ride in moderate traffic and a HKD5 surcharge for every piece of luggage. The budget option is to take the airport bus E22 which costs HKD18 and brings you close to but unfortunately not exactly at the dorms. The bus stop you're getting off is called Kam Shing Road which is a stop on Junction Road, a main road next to the Baptist University. Walking directions from the bus stop can be found on http://goo.gl/maps/vuODxThis involves crossing the pedestrian crossings at grade on Junction Road and Renfrew Road, and takes around 8 minutes walking downhill as Timea says. You may familiarise yourself with the walking environment by using Google Street View. There are also other travelling options and the Organisers will write a joining instruction for those who are coming to stay in the dorms. Best regards, Alan Sent on the road "Teemeah ." <teemeah.wikiposta(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi! If you click on the google maps link provided on the page http://goo.gl/maps/wISQf, you'll get the info. I think this is very tricky by public transport, especially if you are carrying big luggage. It says that you have to change metro lines once and then change to a bus and then you also have to walk 8 minutes to the dorm. Or you have to change buses and then again walk. It's especially bothersome for those who arrive at night, like myself, tired from an already 16 hour flight route.... I will take a taxi from the airport. Provided I can change money late at night at the airport...
