0:00 Starts with the rickshaw rank outside the old Star House

0:11 Star Ferry concourse at TST

0:27 Star Ferry concourse again, but this time looking out

0:39 Looking north from the TST Star Ferry area at the ships & barges near the Kowloon wharves

0:53 Looking across at HK island from TST, panning around to the Star Ferry pier. I guess he's at the public pier waiting to begin a boat trip (possibly the boat visible at 1:00), as the next shot is...

1:10 View from a boat looking back towards Kowloon. First view is of KCR terminus & Star Ferry, then pans north along the coastline past the wharves and on. (1:42 zooms in to watch a plane on final approach to Kai Tak).

1:52 Artistic!

2:06 Passing a freighter, surrounded by smaller boats loading / unloading
