The featured image was taken from The Star Ferry and is of another Star Ferry boat. Easy to get to the piers and the boat service is frequent! The Kowloon (Tsim Sha Tsui) side is located at the south tip near the Cultural Centre — about a 5-10 minutes walk from the MTR station. On the Hong Kong Island side, Central is located at the Central Piers, just next to the Ferris Wheel (you can’t miss it!). For Wan Chai, the pier is quite far away from the MTR station, but it’s a 5-minute walk from the East side of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
