Star Ferry

Star Ferry is actually more of a necessity than something you can just go and see if you want. It's the main access between islands, being by far the quickest and cheapest route if you do need to make the journey. And it's a welcome necessity. Beautiful scenery, fresh sea air (definitely not the type of air you'll get inland) and more convenient than any other type of congested travel you'll get in hong kong.
