| Duk Ling Junk Boat |
There are many private tour operators which offer such kind of tours, however I would suggest taking the tour operated by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The Hong Kong Tourism Board or HKTB (For further reference) offers a tour in a junk called Duk Ling (which means Clever Duck in English); it is one of the authentic and still operational junk left.
So as I took the ride which generally last an hour, I was left completely mesmerized by the spectacular view of Hong Kong. When I was taking the tour I almost felt like that I have teleported to ancient China and I am a Chinese fisherman trading opium. The Junk was really old and very well kept. The best part of the junk I found was the deck where you can stand endlessly and stare at the panoramic skyline of Hong Kong.
The average cost of the tour is HK$100, which I completely agree is way too much but I guess it cost a lot to keep these junks operational, so no fight about it at all! The tour which I took departed from the Victoria Harbor, which is yet another best location of Hong Kong. So howsoever going fo0r a vacation to this fabulous town of east should try the Junk ride. It completely worth it!
