It offers a panoramic view of whole Hong Kong. From the near to the distant, the bluish bay of Victor Harbor, a skyline with ups and downs outlined by tall buildings in which hangs on the setting sun and evening glow, and the dark green of outside city.
Tsim Sha Tsui, commonly known as Star Ferry Pier, is located in the southernmost tip of Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. It shares the same style with Edinburgh Place Pier in the opposite bank, simple but functional. Standing in Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier, you all have a pretty sight of attractive landscape consisted by city and forest. On the background of Victoria Peak, hundreds of skyscrapers delineate the sketch of this city. As the sun goes down, the western part of BOC Tower start to hide in the shadows, except for Central Plaza reveals a profile face. The longest skyline in the world lifts its veil and bloom with abandon.
The Star Ferry is a traditional passenger ferry service operator and hot tourist attraction with a long history of over 100 years in Hong Kong. In spite of being a little crude and poor combined with the competition from cross-harbor bus and underground train, it is still the most popular transportation. It would be an extremely romantic experience to enjoy the moving skyline across Victoria Harbor on a Star Ferry which offers efficient service during either day and night. With gentle wind caresses and the skyline unfolding in front of your eyes, just soak up the glittering night life and feel the intertexture of reality and illusory.
