Mong Kok Ferry Pier

Mong Kok Ferry Pier

Mong Kok Ferry Pier (1924 - 1972) (Chinese: 旺角碼頭) was a ferry pier at the west of Shantung Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, located inside old Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter.[1] It started operation in 1924 when the Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company took over the franchise for the ferry services from Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei to Central at that year.[2][3]

In 1960s, the pier had its bus terminus, with KMB routes 2B, 11C, 12B and 13D parked in there.[4] The pier was demolished and replaced by nearby Tai Kok Tsui Ferry Pier (Chinese: 大角咀碼頭) in 1972.[5]
