Victoria Harbor separating the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island can be crossed by Metro or by the Star Ferry. The latter option is great for getting new impressions from a small boat trip, both during the day and at night..

Ferry Star Ferry
The star ferry sails fast enough, so it cannot be said that this is a slow way to get to the other side. Rather, the opposite is true. If you need to get from one embankment to another, then you can do it by ferry much faster than by metro. And don't forget about emotions. In the evening, it will be difficult to break away from the lights of the skyscrapers on both sides of the bay. And if you cross at the time of the laser show, it will be even more interesting..

Star Ferry Pier Map
On the mainland (Kowloon Peninsula), ferries start from about one place. There are two berths not far from each other, from one you will sail to the pier near the Central subway, from the second to the Wan Chai subway. Everything is signed, so it will not be difficult to figure out which ferry will sail where.
Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier - a pier on Kowloon, located near the Avenue of Stars and Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station.
Central Star Ferry Pier # 7 - a pier on Hong Kong Island next to Central and Hong Kong metro stations.
Wan Chai Star Ferry Pier - Hong Kong Island pier next to Wan Chai Station.
P.S. On the last trip, we constantly ran back and forth on Star Ferry, really faster than the metro turned out.
