How to get to Kai Tak Stadium
MTR
Taking the MTR is the most straightforward option to get to Kai Tak Sports Park. Passengers can alight at Sung Wong Toi or Kai Tak Station and leave via Exit D, then follow the signs to get to the Sports Park on foot.
Public transport
Luckily, Kai Tak Sports Park is located near three of Hong Kong’s major bus stops: Kowloon City Bus Interchange, Argyle Street Playground Bus Stop, and the Kowloon City Ferry Bus Terminal; and over 60 bus routes are within reach of the Sports Park’s venue. For stress-free navigation, download the Kai Tak Sports Park mobile app on the App Store or Google Play to find recommended bus routes and accurate arrival times.
Taxi/Car
Getting to Kai Tak Stadium via car will be tricky, as passengers will only be allowed to alight at designated drop-off spots in the area, which will only be available before the concert begins. If you’re catching an Uber or a cab, you’ll have to alight at the Ma Tau Kok Road drop-off point, and then you’ll have to walk towards the stadium afterwards.
