Ap Lei Chau Kai To Pier

Hong Kong is just amazing in its own way.
Like the Kai To (街渡) between Ap Lei Chau and Aberdeen. Technically they are only separated by a bay of ~200 meter wide. But the way they’ve developed in the past make them to very separated towns, each of its own. While the Ap Lei Chau Bridge is relatively convenient of the residents on the island to connect to the rest of the Hong Kong, but sometimes you’d just want to go to Aberdeen to have a dim sum, shopping, watch a movie, or meet a friend, without driving a car or waiting for a bus. Kai To is your friend.
Kai To means «Street Ferries», like the ferry service that’s so short that feels like helping you to cross the street. Surprisingly in Hong Kong, we still have 78 Kai To routes (yes, I googled it while I’m writing this review) connecting different islands and remote places. It’s cheap, it’s convenient, that’s no traffic, and hence it’s always on time. It’s the no-​bs attitude of this kind of business that keeps them surviving, although to be fair, I don’t know how they manage to do it, charging merely HK$ 2 per passenger per ride.
It’s pretty amazing, given that this very old, local, traditional Kai To is right there between two very developed towns/​districts, and you can still sense the old vibe of Aberdeen being a fisherman village back in the days.
