Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier, ferry pier in Lamma Island, Hong Kong
Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier stands on the waterfront of Yung Shue Wan Main Street on Lamma Island, with two berths and a pier building that has a covered waiting room and a ticket office. It opened on 4 September 1987, replacing the 1964 public pier beside it, and the bridge linking it to Main Street was widened to 65 metres.
The original Yung Shue Wan Public Pier opened in 1964 with narrow, unlit facilities. In 1982 the government planned a new ferry pier on 0.44 hectares of seabed beside it, with two berths; tenders were invited in 1985 and the new pier opened on 4 September 1987. A 2018–2020 renovation added a babycare room, drinking-water facilities and passenger information displays.
The pier's name comes from the banyan tree (yung shue) that gave Yung Shue Wan its name. Two routes serve it: Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry to Central, and Tsui Wah Ferry to Aberdeen via Pak Kok Tsuen. The 2018–2020 renovation added a babycare room, drinking-water facilities and passenger information displays.
Visitors can arrive without advance notice and purchase tickets at the pier, except on busy holidays when planning ahead helps. Ferries run frequently throughout the day, especially during morning and evening hours when commuters use the service.
The old Yung Shue Wan Public Pier opened in 1964 with narrow decks and no lighting, too small for the tourist crowds. The government gazetted a replacement in October 1982 on 0.44 hectares of seabed beside it, with two berths; tenders came in June 1985 and work began that August. The new ferry pier opened on 4 September 1987.
