I wonder where they are now after the Central Star Ferry pier has moved (see related post). I read Golden Boy: Memories of a Hong Kong Childhood

I wonder how much a trip up to The Peak would cost?

November 27th, 2006, at 10:06 pm #Just kidding! I read that when rickshaw men retire, their licenses cease and no new ones issued. Very sad. The govenment ought to encourage revival of this industry. How about turning the rickshaws into entertainment rides. For short rides along TST waterfront, or short rides along moderately inclined scenic roads in Victoria Park, or Kowloon Park… Great too for a short romantic ride in the evening. These vehicles will add interest to the cityscape and provide that critical income for some people.

Jing, the walkway to be pier was very well designed actually, you can also see it in the March 28th post
sophie, welcome and thanks!
walter…me kidding too…but I have never seen a rickshaw in real action, not here and not in other cities, I guess it is a very hard job.
Christine, I guess they take about HK$20 or so for a photo and from what I saw they’re not really busy

December 5th, 2006, at 9:11 am #What I really like is the elements you managed to combine here : the traditional red rickshaw, the perspective of blue poles, the man in the middle. It is both esthetically pleasing and culturally relevant.
