Now, back to Tsim Sha Tsui.
We have decided to start from Tsim Sha Tsui East 尖沙咀東部
(尖東) .
These views are taken from the Waterfront Promenade 海濱公園, a very famous place for lovers and families. Also a very famous place for many of the drama series' shots. This is Hung Hom Hong Kong Coliseum 香港紅磡體育館 . |

As a coastal community with 235 islands, Hong Kong
naturally has extensive ferry services. Star Ferry 天星小輪
boats shuttle across Victoria Harbour 維多利亞港 every
few minutes from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui (6.30am to
11.30pm). The service began in 1898, and the historic green-and-white ferries
provide splendid views and photo opportunities during their eight-minute cross-harbour
voyage. Star Ferry 天星小輪 |
This area is the Hong Kong Cultural Centre
香港文化中心 where is officially opened in 1989 by Britain's
Prince and Princess of Wales. This HK$600 million performing arts and exhibbition venue comprises a Concert Hall, a Grand Theatre and a Studio Theatre. Six exhibition galleries house the Hong Kong Museum of Art collections, which show artefacts spanning ancient and contemporary eras. This centre and its waterfront plaza completes the redevelopment scheme for the former site of the Kowloon Railway Station. This is the Hong Kong Museum of Art 香港藝術館 .
Behind us is the 80-years old Clock Tower 鐘樓 . A monument of Tsim Sha Tsui's railway age, preserved in situ. |
This area is the Kowloon Public Pier, where the Star Ferry Pier 天星碼頭 is. |
This whole stretch is the Canton Road
廣東道 , where you can see the whole of the Harbour City
海港城 .
This photo is taken outside Hard Rock Cafe. And the red arrow pointing is the Planet Hollywood. Some of my friends don't believe that, but if you have been there, I'm sure you will agreed with me, right?

Ocean Terminal Cruise liners have docked here since the 1960s. It is a popular two-decked shopping centre whose open rooftop provides fine harbour views. A moving walkway glides northwards to China Hong Kong City, an even newer shopping centre in the China Ferry Terminal complex. The terminal buildings are connected to Kowloon Park 九龍公園 by a pedestrian bridge. This Harbour City 海港城 is a large, air-conditional shopping, hotel and entertainment complex which contains Ocean Terminal, the Omni Hong Kong Hotel Shopping Arcade, Ocean Centre, Ocean Galleria and the Gateway. |
