6 969: Causeway Bay to Tin Shui Wai
If you yearn after the thrill of speeding along a highway, soaking in the stunning views from up high, you’d love bus 969 from Causeway Bay to Tin Shui Wai. Before the tunnels and highways opened up, the trip would’ve probably taken more than two hours. Now, after you leave the Island side and emerge from the Western Harbour Tunnel, you’ll shoot through one highway after another without stopping in an hour-long trip.
Take a peep of the Victoria Harbour from the Kowloon side on the left, before turning your attention to the historical tong lau of Tai Kok Tsui on the right. Then it’s back to the left again for the multicolour parade that is the Kwai Chung Container Terminal. Before you know it, you’ve entered yet another tunnel. On the other side is the laid-back, bucolic vibes of the Tin Shui Wai area, where the fields and hills replace the dense city buildings from just minutes ago.
