How conveniently is The Wai located?

The mall is located on top of the Tai Wai Station, which connects it to two railway lines: Tuen Ma and East Rail. It also has several entrances and new pedestrian bridges that connect to the station.

The Wai is also within easy reach of major tunnels like Eagle’s Nest, Shing Mun, Lion Rock, and Tate’s Cairn Tunnel, which gives it easy access to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and other parts of the New Territories. It is also linked to the city’s cycle track network, connecting the eastern and western parts of the New Territories.
