In-Depth Information
Time
Hong Kong time is eight hours ahead of GMT and London; 13 hours ahead of New York;
16 hours ahead of San Francisco; the same time as Singapore, Manila and Perth; and two
hours behind Sydney.
Hong Kong does not have daylight-saving time.
Toilets
Compared to most global cities, Hong Kong has a vast number of public toilets. All MTR sta-
tions have toilets, but sometimes finding them requires asking. Markets, villages and parks
also have facilities. Almost all public toilets have access for people with disabilities, and
baby-changing shelves in both men's and women's rooms. Equip yourself with tissues,
though; public toilets in Hong Kong are often out of toilet paper.
Tourist Information
Information The enterprising and energetic Hong Kong Tourism Board is one of the most
helpful and useful tourist organisations in the world. Staff are welcoming and have reams of
information. Most of its literature is free, though it also sells a few useful publications and
books, as well as postcards, T-shirts and souvenirs.
Hotline While on the ground in Hong Kong, phone the HKTB Visitor Hotline if you have a
query or problem, or you're lost. Staff are eager to help.
Visitor Centres HKTB Visitor Information & Service Centres can be found on Hong Kong
Island, in Kowloon, at Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau Island, and in Lo Wu,
which is on the border with the mainland. Outside these centres and at several other places
in the territory you'll be able to find iCyberlink screens, from which you can conveniently
access the HKTB website and database 24 hours a day.
