Hong Kong boasts many piers and can be grouped into, firstly, Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal, SkyPier, China Ferry Terminal and secondly, the Tuen Mun Pier, Central Piers, Wan Chai Ferry Pier and North Point Ferry Pier etc. Whilst the first group provides transportation to mainland China or Macau, the second group provides routes between Hong Kong Island and Tsim Sha Tsui, Hung Hom or some outlying islands, such as Lamma Island, Peng Chau Island and Cheung Chau Island.
