Stroll along the promenade

Alright, so when you hit the Avenue of the Stars, the first thing you can do is take a leisurely stroll along that promenade. I mean, come on, it’s the iconic spot in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong!

As you gaze out, the cluster of towering buildings offers a mesmerizing sight for tourists. The view from here is nothing short of spectacular, blending the urban cityscape with the natural beauty of the harbor.

Don’t miss the chance to snap some photos – solo shots, group pictures, whatever strikes your fancy. Trust me, you’ll want to capture that mix of city charm and serene harbor beauty. 

See the handprints and statues of Hong Kong film stars

As you continue your leisurely walk along the promenade, don’t forget to check out the Avenue’s signature feature – the red plaques embedded with the handprints and signatures of Hong Kong’s movie stars. 

Spread across the 440-meter promenade, these plaques are a unique attraction worth a look.

The Avenue has this special floor lighting that gives it a kind of starry vibe, making the stroll even more delightful. Among the attractions is a 2.5-meter-tall bronze statue of Bruce Lee, which is an homage to the martial arts legend. 

And there’s more to discover. icons like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li, and Stephen Chow also have their marks here.

Take your time, spot your favorite stars’ imprints, and maybe snap a few photos for the memory book. 

Snap pics with the Bruce Lee statue

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without capturing a photo alongside Bruce Lee. I mean, he’s hailed as the “Greatest Martial Artist of All Time,” and there’s a striking 2.5-meter bronze statue of him right here at the Avenue.

This statue stands tall as a tribute to Bruce Lee’s unparalleled strength and influence on the world. 

Strike a pose next to this legendary figure and take a shot at imitating his iconic moves. It’s that moment where you get to unleash your inner martial artist and pay your respects to the man himself.

Catch the Symphony of Lights Show

An absolute must when you’re at the Avenue of the Stars is the Symphony of Lights show. It kicks off every night at 8:00 PM sharp, turning 44 buildings around Victoria Harbour into a breathtaking canvas of lights, all choreographed with music.

On weekends, there’s an added bonus. A stage usually opens up for local talents to showcase their skills. It’s a nice touch that adds some live entertainment to the mix.
