Sampan Boat Ride in Hong Kong Costs 30cents Which Is Cheaper Than Star Ferry!

This is Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter which is located between Wong Chuk Hang and Ap Lei Chau. Ap Lei Chau is an island which the residents there relied on taking Sampan to travel to Hong Kong before 1980 when the first bridge was built.

The sampan service connecting Ap Lei Chau and Aberdeen remains nowadays. It only costs HKD$2.5 per person for this boat ride and it takes 3 minutes.

It is a cheap and convenient way to experience local and traditional Hong Kong sampan. You can travel to Lei Tung MTR station A1 exit and walk towards the typhoon shelter. Then you will see the pier of taking the sampan!
