Avenue of the Stars
After a whole day's tour in Macau, it was back to HongKong (Kowloon Side).
The Avenue of the Stars along the Tsim SHa Tsui Promenade pays tribute to the stars of the silver screen and the people who make the magic happen. There are plaques, handprints of stars, and sculptures, including a two-metre-tall statue of the legendary kung-fu action star, Bruce Lee (see photo below), a century of movie history milestones, souvenirs for sale, and panoramic views of the harbour and Hong Kong Island skyline.
Hong Kong Martial Arts Superstar and Legend BRUCE LEE
***** Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Exit F, take subway (pedestrian tunnel) to East Tsim Sha Tsui KCR Station Exit J, and follow the signs.
This is also a great vantage point to watch A Symphony of Lights from Kowloon Side.
