Special Ferry Service for Cheung Chau Bun Festival

Ferry services plying between Central and Cheung Chau will be strengthened to cater for the expected upsurge of worshipers and tourists during the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival this Sunday (May 19).

According to the past experience, there were a great number of passengers visiting Cheung Chau to enjoy the float parade.

The peak demand for Central to Cheung Chau ferry service is expected to start from 9 am to 2 pm and Cheung Chau to Central ferry service from 3 pm to 7 pm.

Passengers waiting for ferry service are advised to be patient at piers and follow the instructions given by the Police and staff of New World First Ferry Services Limited (NWFF) at Central and Cheung Chau Piers.

They may call NWFF's customer service hotline at 2131 8181 from 9 am to 6 pm on May 19 for ferry service information.

Transport Department will closely monitor the passenger demand for ferry service and will coordinate public transport services, if necessary.
