Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade

Like it a lot ! Just walking at sunset the view of Victoria island is gorgeous !

Victoria Peak offers 360 panoramic views of Hong Kong central and Kowloon, but Tsim Sha Tsui promenade gives you that classic postcard HK island view across Victoria Harbour.
My suggestion is to go a few hours before sunset. Take some photos, grab some food around the area, and return just before sunset to enjoy the gorgeous skyline and colorful horizon from the sun setting (assuming a clear day, of course). There’s the Symphony of Lights nightly show around 8pm, where laser beams and bright colorful lights glow with a narrative. It’s a free event and it gets very crowded quickly. It’s fun to watch, but not that exciting and definitely not worth the trek if you’re not already in the area.
Despite the large crowds mainly of tourists, Tsim Sha Tsui promenade is a must-​see in Hong Kong. Who can pass up the beautiful and scenic backdrop of HK Island skyline and all those lights at night? It really is one of the most picturesque skylines in the world!

Beautiful and relaxing, especially when not crowded (late in the evening and during non-​holiday season). Nice view that’s also very close to TST’s shopping stretch and many restaurants that are more or less tourist traps (high price, low quality food, but the menu will have photos and/​or English).
I like this place on weekday mornings. Very peaceful.

A beautiful place to talk a walk.
We came here a couple of times during out trip — through the day when the sun was out and you could see the water clearly and then at night when this place really shines — literally. We saw the evening lazer light show and it was damn amazing cool.
Also, the reflection of the buildings on the water. Amazing.
It’s very tousitsy and right near the Avanue of the Stars. But you can get food and enjoy a stroll and I loved it for that.

This promenade intersects Avenue of the Stars. I’d almost say it’s the same thing as Avenue of the Stars, since the walk is along the harbor, and you will see great views of Hong Kong Island. :) Many people at all hours of the day, you can take photos, eat random stuff from food stands, and even go jogging at your leisure. A fantastic place!

This place holds a very special place in my heart. This is the location where my fiancé proposed. The sight at night is extremely beautiful and it’s the perfect place to take a stroll after a date.

If you are looking for a great picture taking locale, Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is an excellent choice. The promenade consists of the stretch of land between the Avenue of Stars and the Star Ferry. The Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower can be also found here as well as the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
But what makes it picturesque is Victoria Harbour and the view of the Hong Kong Island city skyline as it is across the water from Central and Causeway Bay. There are not that many public places I found suitable to take pictures in HK, but this spot is one you are going to want to stop at because of the interesting pieces of public art here along with the skyscraper backdrop.
A visit to the promenade and its attractions along with a ride on the Star Ferry across the harbor to Central would make for a great day excursion while touring HK.
It might be a very touristy spot, but it is definitely a place you will want to check out while in HK as it is one of those places that you go to prove that you really did visit this city. Shopping and food pictures just don’t give off as much of the wow factor as the promenade offers.

This one is a bit of a cliché– everyone knows about the promenade by the harbor.
Well, do you? Ask yourself when was the last time that you actually walked the whole thing– from front to end, TST to Hung Hom. I bet that if you are a local you probably haven’t done that since your teens when «para-​para» was still something new and interesting and there were loads of people dancing to the music by the harbor. Ahh. those were the days of my youth…
Actually, if that’s the case with you also– things haven’t changed much. Just add in a whole load of Mainland tourists, photographers charging people for photos and just odd bits of ornaments here and there; this place can’t really change much. The only thing that would be changing would be the skyline across the harbor which has changed a lot during the last decade or so. For the better or worse? I’ll let you be the judge of it.
There is the infamous «Avenue of Stars» which has handprints and statutes of our most famous local TV and movie stars. Sounds familiar? Of course, who else does copies like we do. The New World complex is gone now (good riddance I say, that place was a monstrosity) and you really can enjoy the open expanse by the water this way. there are a number of shops/​booths along the way but they are constantly changing hands so you can imagine how good business is once everybody is gone.
Its a good place to visit once in a while, it brings back memories and reminds you why Hong Kong is such a beautiful place.

Looking for a lovely stroll? I am sure I am not the first one to tell you the best place to do so is in Tsim Sha Tsui where you can have the famous picturesque Hong Kong skyline as your backdrop as you slowly walk along the Promenade.
If you are not a big fan of the Avenue of Stars, (honestly why would you are a tourists who have little knowledge about local movie starts or a local who was born in the 90s like me) you still have to come here as this is what you see on most of the Hong Kong postcards, the skyscrapers, the reflection of the water and the glasses on high-​rise buildings, sky and the mountains, it is THE view you cannot miss in Hong Kong.
However, try to avoid the crowd around 8 as it is the time for the Symphony of Lights. (Wait, why am I asking you not to watch a light show that our government spent hundreds of thousands of tax money on it?) Well… it is simply not cool enough to spend 20 minutes watching lights flashing here and then when you are surrounded by hordes of sweaty and smelly onstanders. However, if you are already there and want to give it a chance, I have a suggestion on where to watch it to avoid the crowds — try the first floor of Starbucks there, at least it is not as packed and it is high enough to see the light show. But please do not go there just for this show, do not forget the star here is the skyline. I have no idea how many time I have brought my friends here just for pictures and views, and I enjoyed it every single time.
Finger-​crossed that the weather is not too foggy on the day you decide to go.
