Chapter 33. AVENUE OF STARS

Hong Kong Island

The Avenue of Stars is located at the Tsim Tsa Tsui area, which is located directly opposite Central. It's about 10-15 mins walk from TST Mtr station.

TST is a newly developed shopping area with lots of mega shopping complexes. But we opted for the street shops along Granville Road & Cameron Road. There were lots of wholesale shops there and we had a great time spending. hehe

Walk of stars

It is a Hong Kong version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Stars of the entertainment business get accolades by receiving a star with their hand prints on them.

Leon Lai Hands (quite small)

Cecelia Cheung

This must had been cemented before the Edison Chen scandal. ;o)

1, 2, 3 Action!

Stephen Chow - God of comedy

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee is the only star that has a statue and is placed in the middle of the walk. The entire stretch is quite long and takes about 20-30 mins to finish. Extra time for posing with the hand prints, and waiting for people to pose with hand prints.

Candy car

There was quite a large group of Mainland China tourists while we were there. I don't like their pushing and bossing and having no respect for other people.

Have you ever waited to take a picture and people just keep cutting queues? Wahlan eh feel like slapping them up down left right and all over again.

Mr. Bruce Lee - Master of Gong Fu

The GF didn't want to act along ;o(

Nice poster

There was a comic exhibition nearby so we went for some cam-whoring.

Orange figurine

Green thingy

Kowloon Pier

At the end of the Avenue of Stars is the Kowloon Pier, that has appeared lots of times in TVB dramas. Feels damn familiar. This is usually the spot where they come to "jump sea" and commit suicide.

Long view

I tried to take multiple shots using our canon camera and joined them together using the software. A bit cacat. ;o(

The view of Hong Kong island from this side is really marvellous. They have a "Symphony of Lights" performance, a laser and lights display nightly at 8:00pm. We couldn't catch it as we were at "The Peak" at that time.
