Victoria Harbour and Victoria Peak at any given hour, it looks like a round of bumper boats in the crowded waters of Victoria Harbour as the Star Ferry threads its way through a melee of tugs,garges,commuter boats, and the occasional junk,sampan, and gleaming cruise ship. The busy deepwater harbor, China's most important, is the soul and centerpiece of this dynamic port city and the place of which it was named: In Old Chinese, Hong Kong mean "Fragrant harbor." Since 1898 the two-tiered green-and-white ferries have been transproting visitors and commuters from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island and back. It is one of the wrold's most unforgettable ten minute ferry rides, not only for the drama of the round-the-clock aquatic rush hour, but to view Hong Kong's granite forest of skycraping banks and trading companies that stand as expressionless monoliths by day , illuminated towers of energy by night.
