Good to know

  • The harbourfront promenade and the New Praya seawall are a few minutes' walk from the station. The area is popular for sunset photos, so expect crowds in the evening.
  • Kennedy Town is also the western end of the tram line, so you can ride all the way east along the Island cheaply.
  • HKU station, one stop before, is closer if you're visiting the University of Hong Kong.
