Ferry Point, Hong Kong

Ferry Point (Chinese: 渡船角), also known as Austin,[1] is an area located on the west of Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was at the seafront and adjacent to former Jordan Road Ferry Pier. However, after reclamation, the ferry pier was then demolished and the name Austin is frequently used instead of Ferry Point.
