Avenue of Stars

At the waterfront of Tsim Sha Tsui, a promenade named the Avenue of Stars honours celebrities of the Hong Kong film industry. Inspired by the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the concrete handprints at the Grauman's Chinese theater's forecourt, Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars attracts numerous visitors each year.

The Avenue of Stars is also the perfect location to enjoy the daily "A Symphony of Lights" outdoor light and sound show at 8pm. On a clear day, the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront is a great location to take pictures of the famous Victoria Harbour with Hong Kong Island's skyscrapers in the background.
