Transport

The New Town is at the intersection point of transport between the Metro Area and western/northern New
Territories and Lantau Island. It is well-served by different modes of transport and well-linked to other parts of
the territory.

Highways, Tunnels and Roads (Figure 39)

Road links between the New Town and northwestern New Territories are provided by Tai Lam Tunnel, Tuen Mun
Road and Castle Peak Road. Shing Mun Tunnel provides a link between Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin as well as the
northeastern New Territories.

Stonecutters Bridge, which connects Nam Wan Tunnel and Stonecutters Island, provides a direct link from
western Kowloon via Tsing Yi to northwestern New Territories. Tsing Yi is also connected to Ma Wan and
Lautau Island by Tsing Ma Bridge and Kap Shui Mun Bridge.

Within the New Town itself, transport among districts is also very convenient through a number of bridges over
Rambler Channel, as well as other road improvement works.

Public Transport

The New Town is served by seven MTR stations under four lines (Tsuen Wan Line, Tuen Ma Line, Tung Chung
Line and Airport Express). The railway service is supplemented by bus and mini-bus routes which generally
connect to small residential areas.
