Star Ferry Pier, Hong Kong

Star Ferry Pier, Hong Kong

Located at the southernmost tip of Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong, the pier known as Star Ferry Pier, Tsim Sha Tsui, or Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier stands on reclaimed land. Operated by Star Ferry, it offers a pedestrian ferry service across Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai and Central on Hong Kong Island. The franchise held by Star Ferry identifies the location as "Kowloon Point."

Similar to its counterpart on Hong Kong Island, this pier consists of two bi-level structures, with the upper-level boarding area commanding a higher fare. These structures are supported by wooden pilings. While the Tsim Sha Tsui pier lacks a clock tower of its own, one can be found nearby.

Adjacent to the pier, at the foot of Salisbury Road, is a bus terminus serving various Kowloon and New Kowloon routes operated by Kowloon Motor Bus.

The pier enjoys proximity to several notable landmarks, including Star House, Ocean Terminal, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and the Clock Tower of the former KCR Kowloon Station. The area between the pier and Star House, known as the Five Flag Poles, serves as a popular meeting spot. Towards the southeast lies the Kowloon Public Pier.

Within the pier premises, visitors can find a range of retail shops, such as newsstands, a store selling Star Ferry merchandise (including ferry models), an HSBC branch, and an information center operated by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
