Sunset Cruises on the Wan Fu
A personal memoir excerpt recounting the Wan Fu junk cruise operated by a Hong Kong hotel, offering sunset sailings from Central Pier to Cheung Chau with cocktails and snacks.

The Wan Fu was a junk operated by the hotel for sunset cruises, departing Central Pier and sailing roughly an hour across the Fragrant Harbor to Cheung Chau, a traditional fishing village. VIPs occasionally sailed for free; everyone else paid a small fee that included Happy Hour cocktails and snacks along the way. It ran daily, weather permitting.
I took it twice myself, and enjoyed every minute of both.
