Tsim Sha Tsui East Waterfront Podium Garden, Urban park in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.
Tsim Sha Tsui East Waterfront Podium Garden is an elevated urban park built along the southern shore of Victoria Harbour in the Yau Tsim Mong District of Hong Kong. It sits on a raised podium above the waterline and is laid out with paved walkways, planted beds, and benches facing the open water.
The garden opened in August 2007, built by the Tourism Commission and managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. It was first named Wing On Plaza Garden after the neighbouring commercial tower, and was renamed in a 2007 gazette. It formed part of the Tsim Sha Tsui East transport interchange, built after the bus terminal moved here in 2004 and the MTR spur line was redesigned as an elevated railway.
The garden was originally called Wing On Plaza Garden, after the neighbouring commercial tower, and was renamed by gazette in 2007. From November 2015 it housed the Garden of Stars: four bronze statues and celebrity hand prints moved here from the Avenue of Stars, plus a 63-metre painting strip of scenes from Hong Kong films. Only 20 of the 107 hand prints were re-mounted at first; the rest followed in 2016, and all were returned to the Avenue of Stars after its renovation.
The garden sits directly above East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, which makes it very easy to reach without a long walk from public transit. It is open at all hours and free to enter, and the elevated walkway connects to the wider promenade along the harbor.
The garden was originally named Wing On Plaza Garden after the neighbouring commercial tower, and was renamed by gazette in 2007, the year it opened. It was built by the Tourism Commission as part of the Tsim Sha Tsui East transport interchange, with the bus terminal moved beneath the podium and two lifts linking it to the street.
