About the Central Pier No. 5 at Man Kwong Street – Cheung Chau Ferry Pier at San Hing Praya Street crossing
Sixty-six departures, and the two biggest groups barely overlap: twenty-three run Monday to Saturday and twenty-one on Sundays. Eighteen more run every day, filling the gaps between them.
An hour to the island
60 minutes from Central Pier 5 out to Cheung Chau. That is the ordinary ferry; the fast one covers the same water in less. Our listing holds the hour-long version, which runs from 00:30 to 23:55.
Sunday runs later than any weekday
The last Sunday boat is 23:55 against 23:45 the rest of the week. Ten minutes, on the day the island is fullest and the last ferry matters most.
Cheung Chau is car-free
A dumbbell-shaped island of about twenty thousand people with no private vehicles at all. The return service starts at 02:20 in the morning — two hours before anything leaves Central.
