Tsing Yi Pier, public pier in Tsing Yi, Hong Kong
Tsing Yi Pier is a public pier on the east seafront of Tsing Yi Bay, near Tsing Leng Tsui, facing Rambler Channel in Hong Kong. It stands on reclaimed land and replaced the old Tsing Yi Town pier that was buried during reclamation. Small boats now berth there, and the pier also serves as a public rest space.
The pier was established before 1961 to give Tsing Yi residents a water link to the mainland, replacing an older landing point in Tsing Yi Town that was later buried under land reclamation. Through the 1960s it connected the island to Tsuen Wan and Central at a time when ferry routes were among the only ways to reach the city.
The pier's name changed with its role: originally Tsing Yi Ferry Pier, it is now called Tsing Yi Public Pier. Since ferry services to Tsuen Wan and Central stopped, residents of nearby Greenfield Garden, Grand Horizon and Serene Garden use it as a public landing for small boats and a waterfront rest area.
The pier is reachable on foot from Tsing Yi MTR station, and several bus routes stop nearby. Signage is in both Chinese and English, and the paths leading to the waterfront are flat and easy to follow.
In June 2024, a cargo ship collided with the pier and caused damage, though no one was hurt. The incident shows how close the commercial shipping lanes in Rambler Channel run to this small local landing point.
