Taxi to kowloon

Can anyone give me an idea of taxi cost from the airport to Metropark Kowloon for two people with one suitcase? Thanks in advance.

About HK$250 or 拢15.

Price from previous reviewer is correct however I wouldnt even bother with a taxi - haggle to get price right before you get into the taxi.





Buy an Octopus card when you arrive and you can get a train or a bus from right outside the station. I managed to get to Kowloon by bus with an octupus card, teenage son and two suitcases for about 拢2 each, we also got to see loads of sights on the way from upstairs in the bus.





The octopus card can be used for any bus, train, mtr, ferry, mcdonalds, 7/11%26#39;s and some vending machines. You then top it up at the stations with however much money you want but to give you a guide we spent approx 拢20 each on transport for a ten day holiday and this included back and forward to the airport, out to disney, out to lantau, and everyday journeys in and around HK and Kowloon.





The stff in the desk at the airport were really helpful and told us where to get off and wrote our apartments down in chinese just in case.





Hope you have a good time and if you want anymore tips from a fellow Scot then just ask.
