We are a group of 6 leaving Kowloon plane departs at 0140. Is the airport express shuttle bus from Holiday Inn K3 available even for visitors staying in hostels? Would like to take ferry from Nathan TST going to Ngong Ping/Big Buddha, then cable car back to Tung Chung. See the Symphony of Lights and Avenue of Stars on the way back to Nathan. What rides do we take and how much will they cost.

Group Tickets? Which bus will you take?

To take K3 airport express bus, you have to show proof of eligibility including Airport Express train ticket (Single Journey, Same Day Return, Round Trip, Airport Express Travel Pass), Airline ticket / boarding pass, Airport Staff Octopus card, AsiaWorld-Expo entry pass or event ticket.

You need take metro from Nathan Road to Central and go to Central Pier to take ferry to Mui Wo. There you can take No.2 bus (HK$17.2) to [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/hongkong/outlying/polin.htm]Po Lin Monastery[/tcgurl]. The Giant Buddha is not far from Po Lin Monastery. After visiting, take [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/hongkong/ngong-ping360.htm]Ngong Ping 360[/tcgurl] Cable Car to Tung Chung.

Central to Mui Wo: http://www.nwff.com.hk/eng/fare_table/central-mui_wo/ (time table and fare)

Then walk to Tung Chung MTR Station to take Tung Chung and get off at Nam Cheong, change West Rail Line to East Tsim Sha Tsui, exit J and walk to the Avenue of Stars. Metro cost: HK$15.5.

You can walk through underground passage from East Tsim Sha Tsui to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station and then take metro back to Nathan Road.

Just remember that [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/hongkong/symphony-of-lights.htm]A Symphony of Lights[/tcgurl] begins at 8:00 pm and ends at 8:15. You should go there a bit earlier.
