My previous visit to HK was in Nov 2011.

On this brief trip, I discovered Ocean Terminal, more for a couple of mid range restaurants there with great harbor views. I don't know if it was there CA in 2011.

The bigger discovery today is the new piers and promenade between the Central Star Ferry terminal and Wanchai -- about half way towards the CEC?

Back in 2011, it was a construction zone, especially between the terminal and towards he MTR station. Obviously there's a big Ferris wheel there, though it's not like the London Eye or if wheels in other cities.

But the "new" waterfront provides great views of the skyline, both looking east and back west as you get towards the end of it and you run into another huge construction zone that seems to reach the CEC.

Are they planning to extend the waterfront promenade all the way to the CEC? That would be a huge improvement. I walked all the way to the CEC so I walked along the noisy road and the construction areas.

Though the Kowloon skyline from the Island side is very unimpressive, especially from Golden Bauhinia Square, though looking westward towards the skyline with the IFC would look great once the construction of whatever they're doing is complete.

That green zone along the promenade looks good too, though there wasn't that many people there even though it was a nice clear day in early February.
