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.

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
One of the world's most famous ferry rides is also its shortest (8 mins).

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.

Kowloon Public Pier

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  .

 Canton Road 廣東道

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.

Harbour City 海港城

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.

We have uses the whole of the afternoon shopping along Canton Road 廣東道 , to Nathan Road 彌敦道 until Jordan Road 佐敦道, , before we went back to our hotel room for rest and dinner.

This is the only clear photo that I have taken of the night outside the hotel I stayed.

That night we went to the Ladies' Street Market 女人街 (Tung Choi Street 通菜街).  You can buy a lots of nice and cheap things there.

One tip for you; don't speck in Cantonese 廣東, Mandrain 華語/國語 or even Teochew 潮洲 when bargaining.  Because most of them are from the mainland, China.
