Hello! I'm XiaoR. To get from West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station to Discovery Bay without taking the ferry, the fastest and most common option is "MTR + Shuttle Bus".
Based on your specific needs, I've refined the transfer steps, especially providing different bus options depending on whether you're heading to the South Plaza (Pier Area) or North Plaza (Hotel Area).
This is currently the most cost-effective and most commonly used non-ferry route among residents.
After exiting the high-speed rail station, walk through the indoor pedestrian skybridge or tunnel for about 5-10 minutes to reach MTR Kowloon Station.
At Kowloon Station, take the Tuen Ma Line (towards Tuen Mun direction) for one stop to Nam Cheong Station.
At Nam Cheong Station, transfer to the Tung Chung Line (towards Tung Chung direction).
Recommended: Get off at Sunny Bay Station: This is the fastest overland entry point to Discovery Bay.
Get off at Tung Chung Station: If you'd like to shop or eat at Citywalk, you can choose this option.
After arriving at the MTR station, choose the corresponding bus route based on which area of Discovery Bay you're heading to:
| If you're going to: | Transfer Station | Bus Route | Destination Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Plaza (Discovery Plaza/Pier) | Sunny Bay Station | DB03R | Terminal is Discovery Bay Pier, close to D'Deck dining area and most South Zone residential buildings. |
| South Plaza (Discovery Plaza/Pier) | Tung Chung Station | DB01R | Terminal is Discovery Bay Pier. |
| North Plaza (Hotel/Shopping) | Sunny Bay Station | DB03P | Passes through Discovery Bay North Complex, Hong Kong Discovery Bay Hotel, and North Zone residential buildings (such as Montane Mansion and Lake Silver). |
Fare Payment: Buses accept Octopus cards, contactless credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), and mobile payments.
Luggage Advice: If you have a lot of luggage, I recommend transferring at Sunny Bay Station, as the station is designed for same-level/easy transfers with minimal walking distance.
Frequency: DB03R and DB01R run very frequently (approximately every 15-20 minutes), while DB03P is relatively less frequent. I recommend checking the schedule in advance.
Hope this updated guide helps you reach Discovery Bay smoothly! If you need to go to a specific residential building, feel free to ask me again. 😊
