Good to know

  • The Macau Ferry Terminal is in the Shun Tak Centre, directly above Sheung Wan MTR station. If you're heading on to Macau, this is the stop.
  • The old streets around Hollywood Road, Man Mo Temple and PMQ are up a steep hill from the station. With luggage, take a taxi for that last stretch.
  • Trams run along Des Voeux Road, so you can carry on to Kennedy Town or Causeway Bay cheaply once you've dropped your bags.
