Star Ferry was founded in 1898 as a key communication
route between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is Hong Kong's most scenic
and inexpensive mode of travel across Victoria Harbor and still is chosen
frequently over the subway by the local residents simply because it is
a terrific way to cross Victoria Harbor. Star Ferry is very inexpensive,
runs every few minutes, only takes about ten minutes, and the short trip
is truly quite wonderful because you can enjoy the magnificent architecture
on both banks of
Victoria Harbor. From the ferry, you are able to see the uniquely designed
Commerce Tower, the Bank of China building that resembles a very sharp
file, the geometric designs of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation,
the Exchange Square of Bond Center and Stock Exchange, as well as the
Victorian Era design of the Legislative Council Building. While traveling
on Star Ferry, you will be struck by the stunning beauty of both of the
skylines that grace the harbor and you will be glad that you chose Star
Ferry.
