Ironic Star Ferry of Hong Kong

A trip to HK is definitely not complete without taking the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour, connecting Hong Kong island and Kowloon. The main route is between Central on Hong Kong island and Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon and vice versa. You can also take the ferry from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui. This was the route I took as my hotel was located in Wan Chai. There are 12 ferries operating and I boarded the Meridian Star, which was built in 1958! In fact, Star Ferry has been in operation since 1888! The trip cost 5 hkd and payable via token (changed with money at the machine) or octopus card and it took 10 mins to cross the harbour. While there are other ways to cross the harbour these days, whether by tunnel or mtr, nothing beats the experience of crossing the harbour in the iconic Star Ferry! #familytrips2024
