Hong Kong's Top 16

A floating piece of Hong Kong heritage and a sightseeing bargain, the legendary
Star Ferry was founded in 1880 and plies the calm waters of Victoria Harbour in
the service of commuters craving a break from the sights and rhythms of the city. At
only HK$2.50, the 15-minute ride with views of skyscrapers marching up jungle-clad
hills must be one of the world's best-value cruises. While the vista is more dramatic
when you're Island-bound, the art-deco Kowloon pier, resembling a finger pointing at
the Island, is arguably more charming.
