History

The original pier, opened in 1979[1] using Streamline Moderne design from the Star Ferry terminals at Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, was located near the Hung Hom Station, close to the current position of Metropolis Tower.[2] In 1988, the pier was temporarily relocated to the seaside of Hunghom Bay Centre to cope with Hung Hom Bay Reclamation Project. When the project was completed in 1991, the pier was moved to the current location.[3] It opened in March 1991.[4]
