If a person wants a cheap way to see Hong Kong Island, all they need is two Hong Kong dollars (about twenty-five cents), and the time to ride a tram. There are several lines on the island. Two of them terminate at the Happy Valley racetrack (for horses). One line comes from Central, the area most people think of when they think of Hong Kong, and the other from the other end of the island, at Shau Kei Wan. Or you can jump on the tram at any point between the two. This ride is from North Point to Happy Valley, condensed to some of the more interesting aspects, in an attempt to capture the atmosphere. A seat on the upper deck, in the front, is best.

The Star Ferry, a Hong Kong icon, has been in operation for a century. The design of the boats hasn't changed much during that time. Though the boats now in use were built in the fifties, they are a throwback to the turn of the century. The ferries shuttle passengers back and forth from Kowloon, the peninsula that juts out into Victoria Harbor, to Hong Kong Island, which has the skyline with which most people are familiar. There are faster ways to make the trip, such as a subway, but riding a ferry is a good way to take a break from Hong Kong's fast pace and enjoy one of the most impressive skylines in the world.
