Verified questions that cite this figure

• Why is the cost of living in Hong Kong so high?

  It is rents and services that are expensive rather than everything: the Composite CPI stood at 108.9 in 2025. Rent, labour cost and shop rents drive local service prices.

• Why is fuel so expensive in Hong Kong?

  Retail fuel prices are high because of fuel duty, scarce forecourt land, storage and transport costs, a concentrated market, and the currency peg that transmits dollar oil prices directly.

• How many MTR stations are there?

  It depends on whether you mean heavy rail, or everything including Light Rail and the high-speed rail terminus. This site lists station records for ten heavy rail lines, with interchanges counted once per line, plus the Light Rail and high-speed systems.

• How many road tunnels are there in Hong Kong?

  Hong Kong has cross-harbour tunnels, road tunnels and tunnel tubes; the Transport Department’s tunnels and bridges map is the reference. The first cross-harbour tunnel opened in August 1972, and several more have been added since, along with many local road tunnels.

• What is Hong Kong known for?

  The harbour skyline and dense cityscape, cha chaan teng and dim sum culture, the public transport network, country parks and hiking trails, and its role as a shopping and financial centre.

• How many MTR lines are there in Hong Kong and how do I read the map?

  The Mass Transit Railway network, operated by the MTR Corporation, serves Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and parts of Lantau. Urban lines, the Airport Express, Light Rail and the Hong Kong section of the Express Rail Link are shown in distinct colours on the official map and fall into two fare structures.

• How many runways does Hong Kong International Airport have? When did the three-runway system open?

  Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) at Chek Lap Kok, Lantau, has operated as a three-runway system (3RS) since mid-2024. The three independent runways — North, Central and South — are supported by Terminal 1, the T2 concourse, SkyPier and the Airport Express rail link.

• What etiquette should I know in Hong Kong — dress codes, queuing and speaking norms?

  Hong Kong moves fast but has clear unwritten rules: queue strictly for services; keep to the right on escalators; table-sharing (dap taai) is common in casual restaurants; “m goi” (please/thank you) is the all-purpose polite phrase; smart casual dominates offices; carry a jacket because summer air-conditioning is strong.

• How fast is the Internet in Hong Kong? What is 5G and Wi-Fi coverage like?

  Hong Kong’s fixed and mobile speeds consistently rank in the global top 10. Four major mobile operators offer 5G, covering urban areas, new towns, most MTR lines, public estates and shopping centres. The Government’s Wi-Fi.HK, free mall hotspots and carrier hotspots provide extensive connectivity.

• Which authority approves fare increases for the MTR, franchised buses, the Star Ferry and trams?

  Fare adjustments for the MTR and franchised buses are approved through statutory procedures after review by the Transport and Logistics Bureau and Transport Department, while the Star Ferry and trams follow their own procedures. All fares and patronage figures are officially published.

• Why doesn’t the site offer real-time bus/MTR arrivals or a fare calculator?

  The site is a static hard-data repository providing official statistics with clear years and sources; it does not run real-time life tools. Live arrivals, point-to-point routing and fare calculators need real-time data feeds and are outside its scope.

• How do you get around Hong Kong?

  Hong Kong’s public transport is dense, spanning the MTR, buses, minibuses, trams, ferries and taxis; public transport carries over ten million passenger journeys a day, a world-class mobility system.

• How do you get from Hong Kong to Zhuhai?

  The most direct way from Hong Kong to Zhuhai is via the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge; ferries (e.g. ferry routes) also operate. Each mode has its own official schedules and fares.

• Can you watch the World Cup in Hong Kong, and on which channel?

  World Cup rights are bought by licensed broadcasters, so which channel airs it and how you watch is a commercial arrangement that changes each tournament. The site does not list current broadcasters; its official hard data focus on the visitors and spending that major events attract. For live coverage, follow the licensed broadcaster and the football body.

• What is the Hong Kong Sixes cricket tournament?

  The Hong Kong Sixes is an international six-a-side cricket tournament hosted in Hong Kong, inviting national teams. As an international sport event its history is verifiable, but specific editions and participant lists follow the organiser’s announcements; this site deals in officially recorded facts.

• How do you travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai, Macao, Chongqing and so on?

  Travel from Hong Kong to Pearl River Delta cities uses various cross-boundary modes (bridge, ports, high-speed rail, flights), with port arrangements and schedules changing. This site gives official public-transport, road and port hard data as background; specific services follow the latest port and operator announcements.
