How To Get To Kai Tak Stadium
- MTR to Sung Wong Toi Station (Tuen Ma Line): The 2025 Rugby Sevens are being held at Kai Tak Stadium (not the Kai Tak Arena!), so get off at Sung Wong Toi Station, Exit D and you’ll arrive in 10 minutes. This is definitely our recommended route!
- Bus: If you prefer traveling by bus, Kai Tak Sports Park is conveniently located near three major bus stops: Kowloon City Bus Interchange (also known as Regal Oriental Hotel Bus Stop and Sung Wong Toi Park Bus Stop), Argyle Street Playground Bus Stop and Kowloon City Ferry Bus Terminus.
- Ferry: North Point peeps can take advantage of the nearby Kowloon City Ferry Pier, which operates the North Point-Kowloon City ferry route. It’s a 12-minute walk via To Kwa Wan Road and Shing Kai Road.
