How to get to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Bus

(1) Beware! There are three cross harbour tunnels. From Hong Kong side you must take the bus that passes through the Hong Kong Cross Harbour Tunnel in Wanchai; get off at the first bus stop after emerging from the Tunnel. You will see the red brick Polytechnic University immediately in front of you as you step off the bus. Go up the steps on your right hand side and turn left at the top of the steps into the University. If you are coming from Kowloon get off at the Kowloon Railway Station stop which is on the opposite side of the road. This is the last stop before the bus enters the Hong Kong Cross Harbour Tunnel in Hung Hom, Kowloon. Take the footbridge across the dual carriage way leading to the podium of PolyU, and follow the signs to the conference venue on campus.

*The following buses from Hong Kong Island go through this tunnel and are suitable:

101, 101R, 102, 102P, 102R, 103, 104, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 115, 116, 117, 118, 170, 171, 171P, 182, 307

(2) If you are already on Kowloon side take any of the buses that stop at Cheong Wan Road, at the side of the Polytechnic University, take the main staircase at Fountain Square to the podium, and follow the signs to the conference venue on campus.

*Suitable buses in Kowloon are:

5, 5C, 8, 8A, 26, 28, 41A, 98D, 98P, 215X 81C, 87D, 973

Buses run 24 hours a day and cover most parts of the city. Exact change is required. Or you can use a stored value “octopus card”.
