Ferry routes follow the city and seek enjoyment in danger.

When we took the ferry "Vision" and sailed into the depths of Ayullan Bay in Norway, the scenery became more and more open, and the fragmented coastline was gnawing at the inland, leaving a deep dent in the land in western Norway. When driving into a narrow fork from a vast waterway, you will find that rocks, streams and human settlements coexist perfectly, and they meander endlessly with fjords. "For many locals who have lived in rivers or seaports for a long time, the ferry is not only a means of transportation, but also a way of life; For tourists, these trustworthy ships make it possible for human beings to shuttle through unusual terrain, which is a pleasant way to travel. Among them, this extraordinary terrain also includes one of the most breathtaking landforms in the world-the fjord. " When I said this, Wang Zheng, the chief representative of Scandinavian Tourism Bureau in Greater China, was sitting with us in the viewing cafe on the ferry. This scene will make you feel that the natural cold and danger outside the window have slowly melted away in the warm viewing hall and the mellow coffee fragrance.

Lifeline of local people

If you ask Norwegian locals their favorite means of transportation, Haida Luther may be the first one. For this long and narrow coastal country, the ocean is the only channel connecting every land. In the past, Haidalude was the lifeline of the Norwegian coast, shouldering the mission of transporting passengers, goods, mail and other living materials. Now, Haidalude has set off a revolution in transportation and tourism along the coast of Norway. "Starting from 1893, there are ferries sailing in Haidalude every day, and it takes 12 days to travel between Bergen, the port capital on the west coast, and Ness, a small town on the northeast border, stopping at 34 towns along the way, all year round, day after day." Li Hongbin, sales manager of Haida Luther Cruises Asia-Pacific Headquarters, said, "Many locals have a complex with Haida Luther, and some even grew up listening to Haida Luther's whistle. This special relationship with the local area has given Haida Luther a unique' mass base'. At the same time, we are also committed to supporting the community development of destinations along the route, which will have a positive impact in all places where we sail. Haidalude has contributed to the community welfare along the route through local transactions and the purchase of services from local suppliers. "

For local people in Hong Kong, the same is true of the "Star" Ferry. Over the years, the "Star" Ferry has attracted more than 70,000 passengers every day because of its advantages of low fares, no traffic jams and sea view of Victoria Harbour. Although a little crude, the "Star" Ferry has become an indispensable means of transportation for Hong Kong people. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the "Star" ferry has been carrying Hong Kong people to and from Victoria Harbour since 1888. Even though there are many cross-harbour tunnels and subways passing through Victoria Harbour, many people still choose to take the Star Ferry every day. Because you can really feel the beauty of Victoria Harbour by ferry. In addition, visitors can join the Star Harbor Tour and take the "Shixing" ferry to and from Tsim Sha Tsui and Hong Kong Disneyland.
