If Hollywood in Los Angeles has the Walk of Fame to celebrate the film industry’s finest, The Avenue of Stars pays tribute to homegrown names that helped make Hong Kong the ‘Hollywood of the East’. Spot more than a hundred of your favourite celebrities’ handprints here and interact with Bruce Lee and Anita Mui using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Don’t forget to take photos and enjoy the spectacular views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong skyline!

A memorable landmark for millions of Chinese immigrants, today the 44 metres tall Clock Tower located on the southern shore of Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon provides a perfect memento of proof that you set foot on the sole remnants of the historical Kowloon railway station.

‘Lost’ in history at 1881 Heritage

Once upon a time a Victorian-era Hong Kong, 1881 Heritage was the headquarters of Hong Kong Marine Police from the 1880s to 1996 where pirates and smugglers were imprisoned. Fast forward to today, the site features a shopping mall for visitors to shop for international fashion brands and fine dining restaurants, and several buildings and artefacts of historical interest have been preserved and restored, including the Former Marine Police Headquarters and the Time Ball Tower.

Did you know that back then, the Time Ball Tower provides a service that is so vital to crew ships in Victoria Harbour – giving accurate chronometers by dropping a ball before their long journey so they won’t get lost in the sea! Now that’s interesting, isn’t it!

Don’t go home empty-handed without visiting the infamous Ladies Street, also known as the Tung Choi Street, where you can get deals and bargains on anything your heart desires from cosmetics to the latest outfits. The best time to head there would be in the evening as it provides a livelier insight into Hong Kong’s bargain shopping scene.

And lastly,
