Waiting on the ferry

Saw this tree in the park at the ferry terminal.  No idea what it is, asked lots of people but the only one who knew anything about it was a Chinese lady, who told us what it was ??, as she could only speak Chinese!!  But she took one of the very red berries and ate it—so we figured it would not poison us!  The fruit was about the size of a larger marble, and tasted a bit like peach, no stone inside.
