@Source: scmp.com
Kai Tak Stadium has become the new home of the Hong Kong Sevens, with more than 130,000 spectators expected to flock to the venue in the coming days for the latest iteration of the annual sporting event.
Whether you are a regular patron getting to grips with the new venue or a first-time Sevens spectator, the Post shares how you can get to the event.
1. How can I get to Kai Tak by train?
One of the easiest ways to reach Kai Tak Sports Park’s 50,000-seat stadium is by using the city’s MTR network.
Spectators can take the Tuen Ma line, also known as the “brown line”, to either Kai Tak or Sung Wong Toi station and then follow the signs to the stadium.
Authorities have also promised that the MTR Corporation will boost rail services for the tournament, so rugby fans can simply use the same route to get home.
2. How about buses and taxis?
If you are planning on taking the bus, you are in luck.
According to the park operator, there are more than 60 bus routes with stops near the venue.
The Kowloon City Ferry Bus Terminus is just a 12-minute walk away from the stadium.
Another option is the bus stop on Mok Cheong Street, which is just a six-minute walk from the venue.
Spectators can also pick from 10 special bus routes arranged by authorities to help fans go to their home, hotel or next party destination.
For example, franchised bus operator Citybus will offer route SP2A after matches end to transport spectators from Kai Tak to a station near Knutsford Terrace in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is brimming with bars and restaurants.
The firm’s SP10 route will take passengers to nightlife districts on Hong Kong Island, including Wan Chai and Lan Kwai Fong.
Patrons can take a cab to the drop-off zone on Ching Kai Road. To head out again, patrons can visit the taxi rank on Sung Wong Toi Road.
Some taxi firms have also jumped on the Hong Kong Sevens bandwagon by offering discounts to passengers going to and from Kai Tak Stadium. SynCab, for example, is offering customers up to 7 per cent discount on all trips to and from the sports venue.
3. Can I drive to the Hong Kong Sevens?
Authorities are encouraging patrons not to drive to the Hong Kong Sevens as parking will not be provided at the wider sports park during the event. Spectators are instead urged to use public transport.
4. Any items I cannot bring inside the stadium?
Hong Kong China Rugby, the event’s organiser, has reminded rugby fans to check its list of prohibited items before heading to the event.
Banned items include weapons, inflated lighter-than-air objects and balls, as well as outside food and drinks.
5. What about food?
Hungry patrons have more than 30 dining facilities to choose from inside the venue. For more options, spectators can also head over to the nearby Kai Tak Mall.
