Описание к видео Hong Kong Star Ferry Ride 4K - Full Ride Crossing The Harbour 50 Places Of A Life Time

As a Hong Kong iconic, The Star Ferry has been in operation for over a century. It is is a passenger ferry service operator and tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Its principal routes carry passengers across Victoria Harbour, between Hong Kong Island, and Kowloon. The service is operated by the Star Ferry Company, which was founded in 1888 as the Kowloon Ferry Company, and adopted its present name in 1898.

With a fleet of twelve ferries, the company operates two routes across the harbour, carrying over 70,000 passengers per day, or 26 million per year. Even though the harbour is crossed by railway and road tunnels, the Star Ferry continues to provide a scenic yet inexpensive mode of harbour crossing. The company's main route runs between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.

Not only in providing inexpensive and reliable services to the public, it also serves as a not-to-be missed tourist attraction in Hong Kong.

The National Geographic Traveler has named the "Star" Ferry ride as one of "50 places of a lifetime", and the ferry ride is also well known as one of the world's most value-for-money sightseeing trips.

It was rated first in the "Top 10 Most Exciting Ferry Rides" poll by SATW (Society of American Travel Writers) in February 2009.
