A new Hong Kong ferry service connecting Central and the West Kowloon Cultural District has started a four-day trial run as part of several initiatives being explored to boost the arts hub’s appeal.

Betty Fung Ching Suk-yee, CEO of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, said during the trial’s debut on Monday that the organisation would leverage the quay to enhance its offerings.
“We are designing more options for visitors by connecting the two museums, performing arts programmes, dining, retail, with other attractions popular with tourists, such as the Peak and Ngong Ping 360,” she said.
She said in addition to the new ferry route, water taxi services would also ramp up their frequency.
“We believe that after Friday, it will be very convenient to travel here from various attractions across Hong Kong and Kowloon,” she said.

On Monday, visitors and residents experienced the new WestK Ferry route, which takes about eight minutes to shuttle between the art hub’s newly built WestK Quay and Central Pier No 9.
