Highlighting the biggest names of the past and present in the film industry of Hong Kong, the Avenue of Stars offers insights into world-famous movie stars as well as stunning harbour views.
Getting There
The Avenue of Stars can be found along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront overlooking Victoria Harbour. Within a 15 minute drive from Dorsett Mongkok, Hong Kong, it also offers the ideal vantage point to take in the daily Symphony of Lights, a stunning light and sound spectacle across the harbour.
