That's the Star Ferry that I remember, hope it hasn't changed much. It's really pleasant riding on this ferry, only a short trip, but the view is marvelous. Beats going through the tunnel any time.作者: busyfun 時間: 2010-12-19 12:03 PM

Thank you Busyfun. I was back in HK 18 months ago, but it was a short trip, didn't notice the change of the Star Ferry. It looks a pity that they have remodeled the wharf, it had so much character with lots of open space, we are all going to miss it. What about the kowloon side? Has it changed too?作者: k23bb 時間: 2010-12-19 07:36 PM
