HONG KONG ISLAND
Central
No matter how many tunnels and transit systems speed up cross-harbour traffic, nothing
beats a ride on the
Star Ferry
from Kowloon to
Central District
on Hong Kong Island
across Victoria Harbour. As the green-and-white double-decker boats get ready to leave the
pier, bells ring, the gangplank is raised and deckhands man the hawsers. On the seven-
minute crossing, the ferry weaves its way through an obstacle course of large and small
craft, while the soaring skyline of Hong Kong Island draws nearer.
