- As a Hong Kong iconic, The Star Ferry has been in operation for over a century. It is is a passenger ferry service operator and tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Its principal routes carry passengers across Victoria Harbour, between Hong Kong Island, and Kowloon. The service is operated by the Star Ferry Company, which was founded in 1888 as the Kowloon Ferry Company, and adopted its present name in 1898.
With a fleet of twelve ferries, the company operates two routes across the harbour, carrying over 70,000 passengers per day, or 26 million per year. Even though the harbour is crossed by railway and road tunnels, the Star Ferry continues to provide a scenic yet inexpensive mode of harbour crossing. The company's main route runs between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.
Not only in providing inexpensive and reliable services to the public, it also serves as a not-to-be missed tourist attraction in Hong Kong.
The National Geographic Traveler has named the "Star" Ferry ride as one of "50 places of a lifetime", and the ferry ride is also well known as one of the world's most value-for-money sightseeing trips.
It was rated first in the "Top 10 Most Exciting Ferry Rides" poll by SATW (Society of American Travel Writers) in February 2009.
I LOVE ' THE STAR FERRY ' !!! !!! from my home in ' The City of Angels, Bangkok '
From 1956 - 1965, I went to 3 schools for my elementary & secondary education. I had to cross the Victoria Harbor every weekend to my second Mom (my Mom's sister) on Tai Hang Road from my boarding school, Diocesan Boys' School for 7 years (1957-64).
At one time, I was allowed to go home during a typhoon - I boarded the last Star Ferry when the typhoon signal was #8 but changed to #10 in the middle of the Harbor. The Star Ferry was in the Center of the storm & the sea was quite ROUGH - nevertheless, the Captain was able to reach the HK island pier without any casualties.
A HEROIC CAPTAIN OF THE ' STAR FERRY '! MANY THANKS!
Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Thank you for creating the video. It is nice to see the journey from where you were standing on both crossings. I have never seen a video that shows the helmsman steering the boat and also shows the piers as you cross the harbour, usually they are only visible as the ferry gets closer. The ride on the Ferris Wheel was nice to see the views, is it 3 circuits that you get? I look forward to seeing your new videos in the future.
Hello, thank you so much~ I've upload the cc captions telling about the history of Star Ferry, maybe you can check this video again if you have time^^
@@followmyeyes16 Thank you for providing the captions. The timings are now fine and the things mentioned are interesting and appropriate. Thanks for answering my question about the number of wheel rotations in the captions. It looked like you went on a quiet day and a quiet time of the day.
Thanks for watching the video^^ It was relaxing to take the Starry Ferry across the harbour and enjoyed the sea breeze
