Avenue of Stars

To pay tribute to outstanding professionals of Hong Kong's film industry, to promote tourism industry, and to consolidate Hong Kong's position as Asia's World City, the Avenue of Stars which was given a glittering official opening on 27 April 2004. It was opened to the public and visitors from all over the world from 28 April 2004 onwards.

16 July 2006
Having nothing much to do in that Sunday morning, we drove to the Victoria Harbour for a leisure walk. And for sure we will pass by Avenue of Stars, which is equivalent to Hollywood's Walk of Fame. This place is located on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade with a superb harbour backdrop.



A magnificent 4.5-meter-tall replica of the statuette on the famous Hong Kong Film Awards. It was donated by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association (HKFAA).

The Hong Kong Bruce Lee Club presents to the city a bronze monument to Bruce Lee.

Along the pavement, there are 73 pcs plaques commemorating Hong Kong movie personalities past and present. This handprints plaque is belong to Jackie Chan.

For unknown reason, the boys choose to touch Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia's plaque. She is really a super attractive women on earth.

Vincent asked me to take his photo with this bear statue. He seldom make such request. Wonder why?

The promenade has one of the greatest views across Victoria Harbour. At night it is a popular viewing place for the Symphony of Lights.



When we want to take photo together with the boys, we have to grab them like this...


or like this...

If we don't grab them, they will run away. And leave us all alone, like this...

Hk Convention & Exhibition Center. Its massive aluminium roof captures the rhythm and delicacy of a seabird's wing. The world's tallest glass wall opens onto fantastic vistas of Hong Kong's famed harbour.

I remember KS brought me to this pink color cruise for a dim-sum lunch when I first came to HK 10 years ago. But he couldn't remember this cruise anymore. Maybe one day we will go there again to recollect his lost memory.



The Victoria Peak


They are natural climber, can't resist the urge to climb high. If we don't stop them, they would have climbed up to the top there.



William stopped me to taking him down, said he want to sit there for a little bit longer.


I gave in, and he was happy.

Actually this is a small stall selling snacks like pop corn, cotton candy etc. Don't know why they were all closed that day?


At one end of the Avenue, it's the Star Ferry Pier. We took the kids for a ride from TST-Wanchai-TST . They were so happy and excited.

The ferry we were on board is exactly look like this one.

One of the high end luxurious condominium in the west kowloon region. The selling price is startling high.


Star Cruises. We have never tried cruise before, want to try that one day.

The famous TST clock tower.


We went home at around 1pm. William were still expecting to go somewhere else for fun. It's always like he never play enough outside there.
