The Avenue of Stars 星光大道

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 is located at the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade 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.

The Hong Kong Film Awards Association Limited, together with its member societies (including the City Entertainment Magazine), are responsible for the election of film professionals to be honoured at the Avenue of Stars. The Hong Kong Film Awards Association Limited will nominate film professionals as additions to the existing list on a regular basis in future.

I think this is a interesting attraction in Hong Kong. You can see many fingerprint of pop stars on the ground everywhere. It not just the pop stars in Hong Kong but also international pop stars. Tourist can take photos with the fingerprint of their favourite pop stars. I got fun to compare the hand size with the fingerprint. I am so superised that Sammo Hung's hand is so big! Also, I think the night view of The Avenue of Stars is more attractive. It will be lit up in the evening. Its apecial lighting effect will turb the Avenue to a glittering galaxy. It looks like many stars on the floor! This make me so impressive. Moreover, there are some statues such as The Hong Kong film Awards statue for tourist taking photos and memorizing extract of Hong Kong films. It's actually a good place to admire the view of Victoria Hour eiter.

How to get there?

Tips:
I perfer to get there in the evening because there will be some shows and performance hold in the evening such as singing by bands. As I said, I think the night view of The Avenue of Stars is more exticing!
