If you start at the western most point of the Central Pier in Hong Kong, you’ll first see a Central Government pier with a fenced off boat and a gated parking lot. As you head east along the piers, you’ll see people lounging on the steps, families walking by with their children and standard-looking ferries with muted colors sitting on the docks. If you look down into the water, you’ll likely see trash floating up, and there will be discarded boxes and barbed wire fence lined up along your view to the boats.
Keep walking towards the Central district and you will see the boats become more colorful and unique. The demographics will likely shift — families may make way for men dressed in business attire or groups of young adults gathering under the ferris wheel silhouetted against the Hong Kong sky line.
