Hong Kong — Star Ferry 天星小輪 Harbour Cruise, Hong Kong
Exploring Hong Kong Harbour
September 2015
As part of my Big Bus Tour of Hong Kong, I had the opportunity to take a cruise around Hong Kong Harbour on a Star Ferry 天星小輪. I would recommend taking the cruise as it is a fantastic way to see the harbour and experience Hong Kong.
To me, there was something iconic about the Star Ferry 天星小輪 — and the weird thing is I have no idea why. The feeling seems connected to something I vaguely remembered from BBC News many years ago.
The primary purpose of the Star Ferry 天星小輪 is to provide commuters with a way to cross the harbour. Over the years, the journey across the harbour has been getting quicker, not because the boats have become faster, but because the gap has become less as more and more of the shoreline is reclaimed.
Hong Kong does have an incredible skyline.
There is a boldness and confidence in the architecture of the town.
