Additional Tips:

Star Ferry is one of the trademarks of Hong Kong. It's a ferry that serves the link between the HK and Kowloon islands, on Victoria Harbour. Star Ferry Terminal, on HK side, is situated at Central Ferry Pier, located next to the General Post Office (Central District) which is also the terminus for many buses. On the Kowloon side, you will board at Tsim Sha Tsui, right next to the Kowloon Clock and Space Museum. A ride on Star Ferry will take about 5 min and cost 2.2 HKD. It's nice to cross the harbour this way as we can admire the skylines while chilling out with the breeze in summer.
