A ferry boat ride from Tsim Sha Tsui harbour to Causeway Bay is the most effective and efficient way to travel from one island to another as it only takes 10 minutes. Tsim Sha Tsui (abbreviation TST) is the most vibrant area in Kowloon, and probably in all Hong Kong. Tsim Sha Tsui in Chinese means pointed sandy mouth. Causeway Bay is a very popular area among tourists and locals. It is located in the north part of Hong Kong Island between Wan Chai in the west and North Point in the north-east. The area lies on the territories of Wan Chai and Eastern Districts.
