Hong Kong Maritime Museum
香港海事博物馆
A maritime museum at Central Pier 8 that uses ship models and navigation artefacts to tell the story of Hong Kong's and the South China Sea's shipping history.
The museum is located at Pier 8 of the Central Star Ferry Pier and spans three floors. Its exhibits include Chinese sailing ship models, export porcelain, nautical charts, the history of the Hong Kong port and shipping companies, and a ship-navigation simulator, which is good for families. The café and terrace inside the museum overlook Victoria Harbour, so you can rest while watching ships come and go. Admission prices are moderate, and it is worth combining a visit with the Central waterfront, the Observation Wheel, and the Star Ferry. It is about a 10-minute walk from Hong Kong MTR station.
