There are three possible ways to go from the airport to the hotel
(currently app. HK$7.5 = US$1):
- Take a taxi from the airport to go to Caritas directly. The fare is approximately
HK$260-$300. In order to avoid confusion, it is better to show the Chinese name of Caritas
Bianchi Lodge to the taxi driver. Download a brochure with the
hotel's Chinese name and a map, and show it to the taxi driver. This is the most
convenient way to go to the Caritas.
- Take the Airport Express from airport station to Kowloon Station and then take a taxi to
Caritas. You will find it easy to locate taxis just after you get off the train. The
Airport Express fare is HK$60 for each adult. Taxi should be HK$30-$60. You are also
advised to show the Chinese name of Caritas to the taxi driver. This is cheaper than an
all-way taxi trip but it is less convenient. [Download a brochure
with the hotel's Chinese name and a map.]
- Take a shuttle bus from the Airport to Caritas. You simply take bus no. A21 and get off
at the bus stop of "Wing Shing Lane, Nathan Road". Caritas Bianchi is
located at the end of Wing Shing Lane, opposite side of the Nathan Road of the bus stop.
You need to walk a short distance across Nathan Road and then to follow Wing Shing Lane. [Download a brochure with the hotel's Chinese name and a map.] The
bus fare is HK$33 per adult. It is a good idea to ask the bus driver to stop by the bus
stop of "Wing Shing Lane, Nathan Road". To show the Chinese name of the
guesthouse to the driver is helpful too. This is the cheapest way but I do not advise you
to go by bus unless you are familiar with Hong Kong. You may get more information from the

Getting to public transport at the Airport
After you walk out to the Arrivals Lobby of the Airport, please follow the sign of
Airport Express, taxi or buses and take the transport you like. You may refer to the
Airport map as below:

Caritas Bianchi is about 2-3 minutes walking distance from Yaumati Station of the MTR
(the subway in Hong Kong), 4 stations away from CityU (location at Kowloon Tong Station).
