Wan Chai Ferry Pier

The Wan Chai Pier (Chinese: 灣仔碼頭), or Wan Chai Ferry Pier (Chinese: 灣仔渡輪碼頭), is a pier at the coast of Wan Chai North on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. The pier is operated by Star Ferry, and provides ferry services to Tsim Sha Tsui. The pier is near the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The current pier is the third generation pier:

The ferry services between the Wanchai Pier and Jordan Road, Kowloon was in operation as early as 12 November 1949. Because the ferry line mainly catered to passengers on the Hong Kong Island to the east of Wanchai, the China Motor Bus company rerouted its bus route no. 2 so that it passed near the Wanchai Pier. At the same time the bus company started the auxiliary bus route no. 8. The Wanchai Pier was not where it is today. It was located on Gloucester Road, near Tonnochy Road. The bus route no. 8 then and the route no. 11, which entered service later, both had stops on Tonnochy Road.

On 1 June 1956 the Stewart Pier commenced operation and the ferry service to Jordan Road was rerouted to this pier. On 3 July 1956 a new ferry line to Kowloon City started operation at the Tonnochy Road Pier. This ferry line was terminated on 24 June 1967.

On 12 November 1963 the ferry service between Hung Hom and Wanchai commenced operation.

From 1965 to 1972 Wanchai underwent more land reclamation. The coastline moved north from Gloucester Road to today's Convention Avenue and Hung Hing Road.
