Board
an authentic Chinese junk and set sail into Hong Kong's scenic harbour
for a 360-degree view of the city's impressive skyline. Originally owned
and manned by Chinese fishermen, the Duk Ling is typical of the junks
which used to crisscross Hong Kong's waterways 150 years ago - a reminder
of the romance and intrigue that accompanied the early taipans and traders
who settled here.
After having sailed
the waters and deep sea channels for more than 25 years, the vessel
was lovingly restored in the 1980s to her original classic design.
Today, the Duk Ling is the last authentic sailing junk in Hong Kong.
