Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Hong Kong (must see)
Tsim Sha Tsui, or TST as it is often called, is a neighborhood in southern Hong Kong. TST is a popular tourist area thanks to the large number of shops, restaurants and museums. One of the favorite spots in TST is the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade.
The promenade is a 1.6 kilometers stretch that shows tourists views of the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Bay. Many of Hong Kong's top tourist spots are near the promenade. These include the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, the Avenue of Stars, the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the Hong Kong Space Museum and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
A daytime visit to the promenade is necessary to see and do as much as possible. However, visitors should plan another trip to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade at night. This is when the Symphony of the Stars music and light show takes place. Watching the Hong Kong skyline illuminated from the Promenade is a sight that must not be missed.
