Hong Kong's Star Ferry has been crossing Victoria Harbor for well over a century. Now, political turmoil and the pandemic have hurt its finances, threatening the cultural icon.
Let's travel now to Hong Kong for a trip on the iconic Star Ferry. Its green and white boats have shuttled passengers across Victoria Harbor for over a century. Now political upheaval and the pandemic have put the ferry's future at risk. Here's NPR's John Ruwitch.
JOHN RUWITCH, BYLINE: The Star Ferry pulls alongside a pier, and deckhands spring into action.
