It’s super convenient to use qr code to enter the gate. Buy tickets in advance. You don’t have to spend time going to the counter to buy tickets. It saves time and arrives at the expected departure time on time. Recommended

Buy MTR tickets always come to Klook, buy and use, good prices. One-way or two-way is ok. Even the official MTR multi-person discount may be similar, but Klook is fast and convenient, and you can save points.

Simply swipe the QR code to pass through the gate and skip the queue. The cost is more cost-effective than buying or using an Octopus on site. Highly recommended! It’s very fast to get to the city, and it’s very convenient to transfer to the subway! 👍👍
