Hong Kong High Speed Rail

High-speed rail offers two types of tickets to meet the needs of different travelers, including:

• Adult ticket: Applicable for travelers aged 14 and above

• Child ticket: Applicable for children aged 6 years old but under 14. The child ticket must be purchased together with an accompanying adult ticket, and relevant identification documents are required.

Specific high-speed rail fares vary depending on the destination and seat class; details can be found in the latest fare schedule published on the official website.

High-Speed Rail Seat Options

In addition to the aforementioned ticket types and discounts, high-speed rail prices also differ based on selected seats and schedules. Hong Kong's high-speed rail offers two seating options, including second-class seats and first-class seats:

• Second-class seat: Offers great value with comfortable standard seating suitable for short trips or business travel

• First-class seat: Provides more spacious comfort ideal for medium- to long-distance journeys

Ticket Booking Tips

• It is recommended that you book your high-speed train tickets in advance, especially during peak travel seasons such as weekends or public holidays. Please ensure that any travel documents used at booking are valid.

• Direct entry without exchanging tickets: After booking your tickets through Klook, there’s no need to exchange physical tickets; you can directly enter using a valid form of ID registered at purchase on the day of travel—making it convenient and quick.

• Each adult traveler aged 18 years or older may bring one child under six who does not occupy a seat free of charge; if this child requires their own seat, a child ticket must be purchased.
