If you get the voucher before departure, you don’t have to wait in long lines to buy tickets. You can go directly to the queue to get on the bus and go directly to the observation deck. It’s super convenient.

I bought a full-day ticket and stayed at Ladies Market in Mong Kok. It is very convenient to travel around Temple Street, Star Ferry Pier in Central, Lan Kwai Fong and Tai Kwun. I also have priority to get on the bus. Thank you

There is a drink included on the boat. The night view near Victoria Harbor is great and there is also a light show, which is quite relaxing. I will try it again next time I have the opportunity.
