On top of boasting the largest slide in Hong Kong, there are also a variety of recreational facilities to keep younger members of the family entertained. Whatever your interests, countless attractions are there to welcome visitors from Hong Kong and across the globe.

With a great view and interesting history, the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most recommended places to visit. It is located on the doorstep of K11 MUSEA, and is a tourist attraction that you shouldn’t miss on your visit to Hong Kong. The Avenue of Stars was reopened in 2019, and the renovations have modernised the area into a chic and relaxing seaside walkway. The palm prints of celebrities are now positioned on the railings of the avenue, making them far easier to see than before when they were on the ground. In addition to the celebrity palm prints and bronze statues at the Avenue of Stars, this seaside walk also allows you to watch and take unobstructed pictures of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island at a much closer distance. After shopping at K11 MUSEA in Tsim Sha Tsui, why not take a brisk walk and visit this happening area!

If you think that Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour can only be seen from Tsim Sha Tsui, you’d be mistaken. The Star Ferry is another great way to take in the majestic skyline and Victoria Harbour, especially in the evening when all the lights are on. Making it onto National Geographic’s list of the top 50 things to do in Hong Kong, the Star Ferry takes you to and from Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. The voyage crosses Victoria Harbour and provides you with panoramic views of Hong Kong like no other place.

Getting to the Star Ferry from K11 MUSEA is as easy as walking along the Avenue of Stars. It only takes around 10 minutes.

Despite Hong Kong’s small size, there’s plenty more to see than what’s on this list. The centre of so much activity, there are countless more must-see attractions and shopping malls in Tsim Sha Tsui that deserve a mention. The best way of exploring this vibrant city is to simply step outside and explore what it has to offer!
