Hung Hom Ferry Pier (Chinese: 紅磡碼頭) is a ferry pier in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is at the reclaimed Hung Hom Bay at the south of Lily Mansion (Phase 9), Whampoa Garden. There is a large bus terminus outside the pier.
History
The original pier, built in 1965 using Streamline Moderne design from the Star Ferry terminals at Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, was located near the current position of Royal Peninsula. In 1988, the pier was temporarily relocated to the seaside of Hung Hom Bay Centre to cope with Hung Hom Bay Reclamation Project. When the project was completed in 1991, the pier was moved to the current location.[1]
