Yes, fair enough... but there are some areas with at least some street life, of which TKO has none.
What's happening to the ferry to Aberdeen? The timetable still looks quite frequent.
I have done, many times. It is all-new but shoddily built. It is mostly giant podiums on giant plots surrounded by highways and roundabouts. There is no town centre. There is no street life. It is a gigantic failure of planning, having been built later than the other new towns but taking in none of the lessons learnt in those. Be my guest and live there, but I won't.

I don't think many locals understand the concept of soulless. I find tung chung similar myself.

I've never been there and was only curious because of the access to affordable flats.
I really appreciate your input; I've never been to Hong Kong before and the turn around between my first visit (next week) and my family moving (4 weeks) is very short. The information I gather here will really help me streamline the process so, again, thanks!
Less frequent than it used to be and the service is slow. (it takes more time than to go to Central).
If you're working in Aberdeen, it's not too bad as long if you work 9 to 5:30.
During the day and in the evening the service is much more infrequent and stops around 9:00 now, (8 on Sundays)
I do agree with this, i drive many a times into Hang Hau, not many shops on street level, massive buildings blocks with just bus/taxi terminus underneath, all the shops are in the malls which are linked to each other, you'll only see people getting out on the outskirts of the mall so it looks like a hidden city. Po Lam is the same as well.
Don't worry, with the relentless march of progress and a culturally sensitive administration, maybe we'll get to Singaporean levels of soul in another couple of decades
I'm awaiting the opening of the refurbished Queens Theatre building- are they still going to kick out all the shoe repairmen and key cutting stores?
