The Junk boats, which have been part of the Chinese maritime tradition for over 2000 years, were once an essential means of transportation, fishing and trading. These wooden sailing vessels were a common sight in the South China Sea, and their design and construction varied according to their purpose.
One of the most popular types of junk boats is the Duckling, which was traditionally used for fishing in Hong Kong's coastal waters. These boats were known for their distinctive shape, with a tall mast and a flat-bottomed hull that allowed them to navigate shallow waters. The name "Duckling" comes from their small size, which was designed to resemble a duckling swimming on the water.
Over time, the use of junk boats declined, and they were replaced by more modern vessels. However, the traditional design and craftsmanship of the Duckling boats remained a popular symbol of Hong Kong's maritime heritage. Today, these boats have been restored and are used for tourist cruises, providing a unique way to experience the beauty of Hong Kong's coastline.
The Hong Kong Night Junk Cruise with Authentic Cantonese Dim Sum Experience is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the charm and history of the Duckling junk boats. As you board the boat, you will be transported back in time to the golden age of Hong Kong's maritime trade. The boat's wooden hull and elegant design offer a glimpse of the past, while the modern amenities such as air conditioning and comfortable seating provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
During the cruise, you will have a chance to see the iconic Hong Kong skyline illuminated at night. The dazzling lights of the city will provide a stunning backdrop as you enjoy an authentic Cantonese dim sum meal. Dim sum is a beloved part of Cantonese cuisine and consists of small dishes of steamed or fried food served with tea. You will be able to sample a variety of traditional dishes, including some of the best stir-fried noodles and famous Cantonese stir fry.
The knowledgeable and friendly guide will be with you throughout the evening, providing insight into the history and culture of Hong Kong. They will also translate the menu and help you order the dishes, making sure that you have a memorable and delicious dining experience.
