Travelling
to Cheung Chau
The island of Cheung Chau is easily accessible
by ferry from Central District on Hong Kong Island. Ferries leave
every half an hour during the daytime and take between 35 and
55 minutes depending on whether you catch the ordinary or fast
ferry. All departures are from Pier 5 - just a few minutes from
Hong Kong Station, the terminus for the Airport Express railway.
It is also possible to reach Cheung Chau from the Airport by taking
a bus to the other side of Lantau Island and catching another
ferry to Cheung Chau. The bus and ferry times do not always flow
together but we will be pleased to send you details about this.
Coming from Shenzhen
Many people come to us through
Shenzhen. To get to Hong Kong from there you can come by ferry, by bus to
a number of places or by train from Lo Wu.
Arriving
at Cheung Chau
If you are making your own
way to Bethany from the Cheung Chau pier and have not been before, please ask
us to send you details of the route or download a routemap here as a .jpg picture or here as a PDF file . Cheung Chau is a fascinating place to explore
but it is easy to get disorientated without directions. Part of the charm of Cheung
Chau is walking everywhere as there are no passenger vehicles, though the hill
up to us may be a challenge for the elderly or infirm. We do not recommend travelling
with heavy luggage but if this is unavoidable, we can meet guests at the pier
and provide help.
Your room will normally be available from 2:00 p.m. To be considerate
to other guests and our small staff, we prefer you to arrive before
6 pm when the evening meal is served and the office closes (No
evening meal served on Sundays.). Late arrivals cannot be accepted
after 9 p.m. unless arriving from overseas by special arrangement.
On the day you are leaving, we ask you to vacate your room by
11:30am so that we can prepare it for incoming guests.
