10 REASONS TO VISIT
Marvel at the skyline and
its rugged coastal setting
from a Chinese junk.
It may come as a surprise given the
iconic status of these traditional boats,
but precious few junks remain in Hong
Kong waters. One example is Aqua Luna (aqualuna
.com.hk), a purpose-built leisure craft often seen
on Victoria Harbour. Aside from 45-minute evening
cruises that pick up passengers in Central and Tsim
Sha Tsui, journeys aboard the Aqua Luna include a
90-minute voyage, run four times a week, to explore
Hong Kong Island’s wilder south side. The excursion
includes two hours of free time in the beachside
town of Stanley. A quicker, more rustic alternative
is the 15-minute harbor tour aboard Duk Ling
(dukling.com.hk), a 64-year-old vessel billed as the
last original three-mast sailing junk in the territory.
