In pictures: the cruise liners sailing into Hong Kong in the 1970s and 80s
Long before the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal – long before airliners started landing at Kai Tak Airport, even – leisure passengers would arrive in Hong Kong by ship in their thousands. After arriving in the city, some would continue by train to Guangdong province, and explore deeper into mainland China. Here, we present some South China Morning Post photographs from the decks of those giant cruise liners – and some from the shore. Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, in 1970.

Hong Kong seeking proposals to revamp Kai Tak Cruise Terminal
Hong Kong authorities are inviting proposals for better utilisation of space at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. Advertisement The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau announced on Wednesday it was 'inviting the market to submit expressions of interest' to enhance the use of the terminal. A spokesman added that this initiative is part of an action plan aimed at developing cruise tourism and 'to elevate the function of the KTCT as a cruise terminal for all.' He noted that in addition to cruise operation facilities, the terminal features an ancillary commercial area of around 5,600 square metres (60,277 sq ft) and public space on the rooftop and second floor. The bureau was seeking proposals for 'conventional retail or other purposes', he added. Authorities emphasised their commitment to promoting the terminal for hosting more non-cruise and commercial events during off-peak seasons and on days with fewer cruises.
