After 46 years, it’s goodbye to the Wanchai (East) Ferry Pier. The last ferry will leave at 23:00 tonight, Friday 29 August 2014. A newly built pier opens on Saturday. The old pier, which is making way for the Wanchai harbourfront development project, began service in 1968 and in its heyday, ferries plied to and from Jordan Road, Hung Hom and Tsim Sha Tsui. Today, only the Wanchai to Tsim Sha Tsui route is in operation.
The new pier is a modern version of the old – not unlike the old pier the toilets are outside the barrier. Their looks to be dinning options to come on the upper level, which will offer a gorgeous view of the harbour. www.starferry.com.hk
