Crowding on a work day

Mui Wo residents have noticed that the ferries are getting fuller these days - and not just on weekends. This is the crowd for the 9.10am ferry on a weekday! In the past, you'd probably only see crowds like this on special occasions, such as the Silvermine Bay Music Festival.

Some of the traffic are tourists but there are more residents too. Given how high rents are all over Hong Kong, Mui Wo is getting quite popular as a place to live. A real estate agent told me it's the new Sai Kung. I think it's more like the new Discovery Bay.

Hopefully, First Ferry will cotton on and stop using the smelly (and puke-inducing) small ferries for the Mui Wo route.
