Hung Hom Ferry Pier

Hung Hom Ferry Pier () is located in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, positioned on land reclaimed from Hung Hom Bay. At present, two ferry operators provide services connecting to Central Piers and North Point Ferry Pier.

History

The initial pier commenced operations in 1979 and was designed in the Streamline Moderne style, resembling the Star Ferry terminals found at Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. It stood near the Hung Hom Station, adjacent to what is now the Metropolis Tower. Due to the Hung Hom Bay reclamation efforts, the pier was temporarily shifted in 1988 to the waterfront beside Hunghom Bay Centre. Following the project's completion in 1991, it was relocated to its present site and reopened in March of that year.

Public Transport Interchange

This interchange provides access to MTR Whampoa station via exit C2.
