Is it possible to walk between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island?
I have a 5 hours transit today at Hong Kong Airport, and so I decided to visit Kowloon/Mongkok. However, I also want to enjoy Hong Kong Station. I don't have HKD in hand so I cannot take a train between the two station, although I can take Airport Express which can be purchasable via credit card.
In this case, can you still enjoy both places by walking across, possibly via a submarine tunnel, which I think a bus/train uses?

What is the difference between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon?
There is no real difference between Kowloon and Hong Kong island. They are both busy city areas with shops, night life etc. Mongkok and Tsim Sha Tsui are both part of Kowloon.Why is Kowloon the dark side?
Most travellers to Hong Kong gravitate towards the glamour of its main island, yet across Victoria Harbour lies the more heavily populated Kowloon.

Re: Can I walk round Hong Kong? You can certainly walk as much as you like though crossing the harbor, you have to take some kind of transport unless you can walk on water. Also, most people take public transport on a daily basis. It can be subway, train, bus, tram, ferry or taxi.Is Kowloon part of Mainland China?
