Junk Boat Ride in Victoria Harbour

Overview

Sailing across Victoria Harbour on a traditional Chinese junk boat — with its distinctive red sails — is one of Hong Kong's most iconic experiences.

Highlights

• Red Sails: Traditional battened sails create an unforgettable silhouette against the modern skyline.
• Sunset Cruise: Evening sailings offer views of the city transitioning to neon lights.
• Photo Opportunities: The contrast of a wooden junk against glass towers is unforgettable.

History

Junk boats have sailed Chinese waters for over 2,000 years. The Dukling — built in 1955 in Macau — is the last remaining original Hong Kong junk.
