Get the Octopus Card — cash-only, about HK$39, and it works across the entire network (MTR, buses, trams, ferries), unlike bank-card tap-in which only covers the MTR.
Se rendre au départ

Carte de transport
Octopus Card
At Hong Kong International Airport: MTR Customer Service Centres in the arrivals hall,
counters by the Airport Express platforms, 24/7 self-service vending machines, or the 7-Eleven in the Arrivals hall.
Also available at almost any MTR station and convenience stores citywide.

Alternative: MTR Tourist Day Pass USD 9.60 (approx. HK$75) —
Only worth it if you're packing in 5+ MTR-only rides in a single day, since it excludes Airport Express,
Light Rail first class, and doesn't cover buses/trams/ferries the way Octopus does.
Plus de détails
Airport/MTR counters sell the Octopus card for HKD cash only, so have Hong Kong dollars ready.
The 'Tourist' Octopus starts from HK$39 with no refundable deposit.
Foreign Visa, Mastercard,
and UnionPay contactless cards can tap directly at designated light-blue 'Contactless Payment' gates for MTR and Airport Express rides —
but only at adult fares, and it doesn't cover Light Rail, MTR buses, or High Speed Rail.
Octopus, by contrast, works across the whole system: MTR, Airport Express, buses, minibuses, taxis, the street tram, Star Ferry, and outlying-island ferries.
