Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Waterfront esplanade in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is a waterfront path along Victoria Harbour in Kowloon, running from the ferry pier to the tunnel entrance. The path connects two different sections of the harbour into one continuous walk with open views of the water and the Hong Kong Island skyline.
The western part of the promenade was built on the route of an old railway line that once connected Kowloon to Guangzhou. The eastern section stands on land reclaimed from Hung Hom Bay in the late 1960s, which is why the two halves feel slightly different in character.
The promenade runs past several museums, including ones dedicated to art and space exploration, that draw visitors throughout the day. The Avenue of Stars section features handprints and statues of local film figures, and many people stop there to look for familiar names.
The promenade is easy to reach from several MTR stations, bus stops, and ferry piers nearby. Benches, restrooms, and small food stands are spread along the route, so you can take the walk at your own pace without much planning.
The Symphony of Lights show that runs nightly over the harbour holds a Guinness record as the largest permanent light and sound show in the world. The Kowloon side of the waterfront is considered one of the best spots to watch it from, and it draws large crowds every evening.
