Sail with them to cross the Victoria Harbour. This historic ride which is still used as a public transport is the most scenic way to get around Hong Kong! Tips, 1. To me, it is regardless which direction you sail from, just make sure you face the Island of Hong Kong to get the dramatic view! 2. Please sit at... More

You have to cross Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry while in Hong Kong. You pass large boats, little junks with traders in them and you wonder how they manage to miss each other. The pier itself has good signposting so it is easy to find the correct boarding place. More

Taking a trip on the Star Ferry is great. It's hustle and bustle all the way but is worth every sight. See the Hong King skyline from the water and your jaw will drop. When boarding and disembarking though - be careful not to slip. It's reasonably busy but then, this is Hong Kong. It's cheap and a great way... More

Well, the new Star Ferry Pier is very different from the old one. Maybe it is me as a historical person. However, with the new maritime museum coming next to the pier in Central, hopefully it will drive the visitor traffic to even higher. More

This iconic pier was undergoing construction on the Kowloon side, so was a bit messy - but who can resist a ride on the Star Ferry? There is a fantastic shoe shop on the Kowloon side pier called Perfect Born. Leather shoes from $A50 - in sizes to fit western feet. Worth a visit! More
