Taxi
The taxis in Hong Kong are colour coded. There are
2 main types, the red taxis and the green taxis.
The red taxis are more expensive which serve all
parts of Hong Kong; the green taxis are less
expensive which serve only the New Territories where
Lingnan University and the conference hotels are
located. If you decide to take a taxi directly
to the conference hotels or to Lingnan, be sure to
take a green taxi and the fare should be around
HK$250 (approx US$33). The red taxis and the
green taxis have separate stands at the airport.
