We highly recommend public transport. The 64K bus passes the Farm entrance: board it at MTR Tai Wo Station (Exit A) or MTR Kam Sheung Road Station (Exit D), and alight at the “Kadoorie Farm” bus stop. The journey takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Parking on site is limited, by advance booking only, and allocated first come first served.
