A trip to Hong Kong is never complete without a stop at the Avenue of the
Stars. That’s why it is no wonder this spot is packed with tourists day
and night.
Right off the bat and fresh from our Ocean Park Adventure, we headed
directly to the Avenue of the Stars after alighting the MTR at the Tsim Sha Tsui Station.
Since we arrived at roughly past 7PM, we weren’t able to catch the Symphony of Lights. It’s ok though as we imagined it would be too crowded at the Avenue of Stars during the lights show. That would’ve prevented us from getting clean shots of Victoria Harbour.
HOW TO GET TO AVENUE OF STARS from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station on Foot
1. Get off TST Station through Exit E along Nathan Road.
2. Walk until the end of Nathan Road towards Salisbury Road. It’s around 150 meters from the exit. You’ll see Salisbury Garden and the Hong Kong Space Museum on the opposite side of the road.
3. Take the pedestrian subway to cross Salisbury Road.
4. Walk across Salisbury Garden.
5. Welcome to the Avenue of Stars. You know you’re there when you can already see the harbor.

Similar to the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, you will see
many “plaques” of famous Hong Kong/Chinese celebrities lying around
while strolling along the vast strip of Avenue of the Stars; Jackie
Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li and Bruce Lee, among others, to name a few.
The night will not be complete without him having picture with his favorite martial artist, Bruce Lee. :)

But their stars shone no brighter than the magnetic statue on the far
end of the boardwalk. Bruce Lee, Hong Kong’s legendary film actor and
martial artist, shows off his signature pose. It was around this statue
that I found the biggest swarm of tourists, all of whom wanted to have a
photo taken next to it.
It was a night to remember especially for Percy. After tour to the Avenue of the Stars, we went back to our hostel to get some rest and prepare for our tomorrow's adventure at Macau!
