A Walk With A View - Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade

By:


It is not an exaggeration to say that Tsim Sha Tsui is the most happening place in Hong Kong. On the tip of Kowloon Peninsula looking out towards Victoria Harbour, it is the tourist hub of the city with the most number of hotels in almost every category and price range clustered around here. Restaurants of every variety and type of cuisine can be found here and it is also one of the citys main shopping areas with lots of malls and flagship stores of well known luxury brands. Tsim Sha Tsui is also home to several parks, well known museums and performance venues. In short everything that is something is here.

For city dwellers Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is a godsend. Stretching from the New World Centre to the Star Ferry Terminal, this wide and level walkway can be enjoyed by everyone. Besides being a lovely place to take a stroll and soak in the best views of the city, visitors and citizens can use it for their morning walk or run, watch the lights of Victoria Harbour in the evenings and take in the famous sound and light show. You can even check your email here as there is free wifi. Close to the New World Centre is the Avenue of Stars, the first one outside Hollywood, with handprints of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and where other famous Hong Kong film personalities are commemorated in different ways. One of the newest additions is a 2 meter high statue of the famous martial arts exponent Bruce Lee. The Promenade tends to get a bit too crowded as the day progresses given that it offers the best photo opportunities of some of the best cityscapes in the world and provides the best day and night views of the harbor. With the recent opening of the extension to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, visitors and citizens alike can now enjoy uninterrupted views of Victoria Harbour from a 4 km seafront walkway.

The Promenade is lined by some of the most iconic modern and historical buildings in the city and is in the midst of the citys most important cultural, entertainment and commercial areas.

With the advantage of being close to the citys business, shopping and entertainment districts and transport hubs the Eaton Hotel Hong Kong offers its guests a selection of modern and comfortable rooms and suites and a range of guest services that include formal and informal dining options featuring oriental and western cuisine. Also available are modern leisure facilities that are very good value for a hotel in Hong Kong. As one of long established hotels in Kowloon guests are assured of the comforts and conveniences necessary to make a stay in Hong Kong a relaxing and hassle free experience.
