Good to know

  • Admiralty is the biggest MTR interchange on the Island, where four lines meet: the Island, Tsuen Wan, South Island and East Rail lines. It's a good base if you plan day trips in several directions.
  • Pacific Place sits directly above the station and connects to several large hotels, so with luggage you can stay indoors most of the way.
  • Hong Kong Park is a short walk uphill from Pacific Place.
