Insider’s HONG KONG Travel Guide

Hong Kong Travel Guide from a local perspective

Star Ferry

Star Ferry is one of the most significant and representative landmarks of Hong Kong. Its ferries commute between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island since 1888. Though the road tunnels that are built beneath the harbor has brought an alternative way to shuttle between these two islands, many commuters still prefer to take the ferry.

One of the main reasons may be the price. The fare for the upper deck is HK$2.20, while the lower deck, a mere cost of HK$1.70. This is a very affordable price, especially when traffic during rush hour encourages commuters to opt for ferries rather than land transports.
