Cherish every ride on the Star Ferry

 Cherish every ride star ferry

The Star Ferry once witnessed the evolution of Hong Kong from a small fishing village more than a hundred years ago into today's cosmopolitan city. Every day, it is responsible for safely transporting passengers from one side of the harbor to the other, including not only citizens but also foreign tourists.

But have you ever thought that the next time you come to Hong Kong, the flight will be suspended? You may think that it may be so easy to stop the flight. After all, it has a history of 100 years. I suggest you cherish every time you have the opportunity Opportunity to ride, as the above situation may occur at any time.

The dilemma of the Star Ferry

Recently, the Star Ferry Company announced that from June 2019 to the beginning of 2022, the accumulated losses exceeded HK$70 million (nearly US$10 million). debt is likely to be repaid until 2047.

The reason for the dilemma

In the past 40 years, the transportation between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island has changed from only taking the ferry to the cross-harbor tunnel and taking the MTR. As time passed, there were no tourists, and even the locals reduced they're going out. In the case of a sharp drop in the number of passengers, the situation has reached a critical point.

If you want to slowly enjoy the night view of both sides of the Victoria Harbour, taking the Star Ferry will be a perfect experience. Take the ferry, enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait, face the waves, feel the natural sea breeze, busy but all the pressure, romantic, quiet All are so natural and relaxing. As one of the most beautiful harbors in the world, Victoria Harbour will not disappoint you with its colorful scenery.

Award of Star Ferry

The Star Ferry has always been regarded as one of the icons of Hong Kong and has received awards from various institutions and international media in recognition of its unique style and experience. Among them, TripAdvisor, a world-renowned travel review website, awarded the Star Ferry with the "TripAdvisor Annual Excellence Award" for two consecutive years.

"National Geographic Travel Magazine" once hailed the Star Ferry to visit both sides of the Victoria Harbour as one of the "50 must-see attractions in life". Taking the Star Ferry is also one of the best and cheapest sightseeing tours in the region.

The US website Global Post even rated the Star Ferry as one of the "31 Reasons to Live in Hong Kong".

Finally, I hope more passengers can know about the situation of the Star Ferry so that passengers can not only experience it for themselves but also help the Star Ferry to continue its operation. Provide high-quality and low-cost services to Hong Kong citizens and foreign tourists.
