Pre-Arrival Info

  • Make Your own Way to Lingnan

    • Most taxi drivers understand enough English to get you to the places you want to go. But it may be helpful to show the detail to the taxi driver as below:

    “Please take me to the Lingnan University, 8 Castle Peak Road, Tuen Mun, New Territories”

    「司機先生，請你載我到嶺南大學新界屯門青山公路八號嶺南大學。」

Notes:

  1. A surcharge of HK$5 (for both red and green taxi) will be charged per piece of luggage.
  2. You should avoid taking “private taxis”. They are illegal and might take advantage of new arrivals.

  • Pre-departure Checklist

    • People tend to over pack because of insecurity and fear of the unknown. One big suitcase and one small carry-on bag would probably be good enough. You may pack your luggage with the help of the following checklist. Subject to your own needs, it is advisable to pack only the essentials and the items that you would need immediately upon arrival. The following checklist is for your reference only.

    You should carry the above travel documents with you until you arrive at Lingnan.

Always check to be sure all items are with you before you leave the counters of airline, the immigration or customs.

    For the most important of these documents, keep them with you at all times. You should make several photocopies of important documents (e.g. Student Visa/Student Permit, and entry visa stamp page in passport), leave a set at home and take several sets of them to Hong Kong if possible.
