traveller Affordable Hong Kong The Star Ferry crossing from Victoria Harbor to Hong Kong Island costs $HK2 (PGK77) for the lower deck. Double the experience by coinciding with the 18-minute nightly laser show from 8pm, in which shafts of blue light pierce the night sky, and patterns emerge on buildings one after the other. It’s worth getting off the ferry at Wan Chai Wharf to marvel at the enormous Hong Kong Observation Wheel, and the island’s city lights as they begin to turn on. Back in Kowloon, there’s very affordable (and good) dining in the food court at Harbour City and if the timing is right, stroll on to the sixth-floor In focus ... have your camera ready for the stunning Hong Kong scenery, public artworks and, of course, the selfie with the city as a backdrop.
