Hong Kong Film Awards, Bronze statue on Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, China
The Hong Kong Film Awards monument is a six-meter tall bronze sculpture shaped like the awards statuette, showing a goddess holding a pearl overlooking Victoria Harbour. The figure blends traditional Chinese artistic forms with modern sculptural design.
The Hong Kong Film Awards began in 1982 as the region's premier annual recognition of cinematic accomplishment. The monument was constructed later as a tribute to this established film tradition.
The statue represents Hong Kong's thriving film industry, where performers, directors, and filmmakers gather annually to honor outstanding work in cinema.
The monument is currently located in the Tsim Sha Tsui East Waterfront Podium Garden as the waterfront undergoes renovation work. Visitors can reach it on foot and enjoy free access to the surrounding park.
The goddess on the statue holds a pearl, symbolizing wealth and cultural meaning in Chinese tradition. This detail connects the Western concept of film awards with Eastern artistic values, reflecting Hong Kong's position between two cultures.
