Getting To (And Around) Clockenflap — How To Get To Central Harbourfront
It’s all happening at the Central Harbourfront, an easily accessible location. Detailed maps of the venue, including all of the stages, toilets and workshops, will be available on Clockenflap’s website closer to the date, so you won’t need to worry about getting lost!
Transport Options
Bus: Hop off in Central near ifc mall or near the outlying ferry piers, then walk to the site (it should only take a few minutes).
Ferry: It’s a quick walk from all Central ferry piers — Pier 2 (Park Island), Pier 3 (Discovery Bay), Pier 4 (Lamma), Pier 5 (Cheung Chau), Pier 6 (Peng Chau/Mui Wo), and Pier 7 (Star Ferry). Look for the Hong Kong Observation Wheel near Central Pier 10, and you’re almost there.
MTR: The closest stations are Hong Kong Station (Exit A2) or Central Station (Exit A). Follow the walkway signs toward the Central Star Ferry Pier, and you’ll see the festival entrance just past the observation wheel.
Taxi: Get dropped at the Star Ferry taxi stand and walk straight ahead. But with traffic likely, public transport is your best bet!
