Getting to the Venue: Comic Con Transportation Routes
- The MTR is the most convenient way to reach the HKCEC. Exhibition Centre Station (on the relevant lines serving the exhibition district) is a very short walk from the venue via Exit B. If you’re coming from other parts of Hong Kong Island, Wan Chai Station is also within easy walking distance—approximately an 8–15-minute walk depending on pedestrian traffic and which exit you use.
- From Kowloon or the New Territories, the MTR offers convenient cross-harbour connections. Several cross-harbour bus routes also stop near Wan Chai, which can be a good alternative if you prefer travelling by road. For a scenic option, take the Star Ferry to Wan Chai Pier. After disembarking at Wan Chai Pier, it’s around a 10–15-minute walk to the HKCEC. The ferry is a popular choice for visitors seeking a relaxed, picturesque route to the city.
