Original text:

The small island at right is Little Green Island (小青洲). 

I believe that the smoke visible in this image was engine exhaust from the ferry funnel [no, see below].

Penhahk answered: the smoke was from Incinerator facilities in Kennedy town.

Although only the chimney is visible, the smoke cannot be overlooked.

Hi there,

Until 1993 there had been a garbage incinerator at Kennedy Town.  I believe the smoke was from their chimney.
