Avenue of Stars HK

One of the most iconic sightseeing areas in HK! I grew up traveling to HK frequently, and this never ceases to amaze me every time. Beautiful buildings, natural body of water between HK & Kowloon side, and every angle you look at will give you an awesome view. If you think day time looks nice, night time is much more beautiful in my opinion. So much people hanging out, walking by and just appreciating the sights! Oh and high end brand activations every now & then along the walkways as well!

Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui is a classic waterfront promenade celebrating the legacy of Hong Kong’s film industry, often compared to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Stretching about 440 meters along Victoria Harbour, it features over 100 celebrity handprints, plaques, and statues of legendary figures like Bruce Lee and Anita Mui, making it a fun and meaningful walk for visitors who love cinema and photo opportunities.  The promenade is completely free and open 24 hours, so you can visit any time of day, though early morning and sunset are especially pleasant for a quieter stroll and scenic views.  The real highlight for many travelers is the Symphony of Lights show each evening around 8:00 PM, when Hong Kong Island’s skyline lights up with music and laser effects — a beautiful sight from this vantage point along the harbour.  Aside from the handprints and stars, the location offers sweeping views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong’s iconic skyline, with plenty of spots for photos, especially near the Bruce Lee statue.  There aren’t many food stalls directly on the promenade, but there are lots of cafés, restaurants, and attractions nearby, including Harbour City and K11 Musea, so you can easily combine your walk with dinner or shopping.  Many visitors enjoy the relaxed, open-air atmosphere and the way the harbour views change from day to night. It’s a popular stop for first-time visitors to Hong Kong and a pleasant place to spend around 30–60 minutes walking, taking photos, and soaking in both the culture and the skyline. 

The Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong is a must-visit waterfront promenade that beautifully celebrates the city’s rich film heritage while offering one of the best vantage points for views over Victoria Harbour and the iconic skyline. Inspired by the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it features plaques, handprints, and statues of legendary Hong Kong film stars — including the famous martial-arts icon Bruce Lee and beloved local celebrities — making it a fun and photogenic experience for visitors. A leisurely walk along the promenade is both relaxing and scenic, with plenty of spots to pause, take photos, or watch the stunning harbour views. It’s especially magical at sunset or after dark when the city lights sparkle and you can enjoy the Symphony of Lights show over the water.

It's right opposite Shangri-La Hong Kong. Basically there is a bridge you can cross over to the avenue of Stars from the hotel. Spectacular view, very breezy esp during the winter months. Crowded over the weekend so a weekday walk there would be better! K11 Musea is there at the end of the walk

The Avenue of Stars is iconic for its location along Victoria Harbour and for catching the night skyline and the Symphony of Lights show. It’s definitely a spot many visitors want to tick off their list, especially for photos with Hong Kong’s glittering towers as a backdrop. That said, it’s crowded, often dark in spots, and there’s a noticeable foul smell in some areas, which takes away from the experience. Compared to something like the light show at Marina Bay Sands, it doesn’t quite deliver the same wow factor. Still, it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area — just manage your expectations.

Avenue of Stars was a toss up between 3 and 4 stars for me. I feel that if you are there just to see this attraction, there isn't too much to see. There are only a small amount of statues. Hand prints of the stars can be found in the handrails along the water but they are a bit easy to miss. I did enjoy seeing this attraction though because I came to see it as part of the harbour and other sites in the area.

We came here on a Sunday, so it was very crowded. And it seemed like about half the people here were only interested in getting their picture taken alongside Victoria Harbor, and knew nothing about the handprints they leaned on to get those photos. Regardless, it was fun to see some of the famous actors and directors, and I was surprised at how many I knew. And I didn't see every one of them either. But I got pics with Jet Li and Sammo Hung, and my wife got pics with Michelle Yeoh and Nieh Kong (she read all his books). And I also learned about Anita Mui today. Overall, it was worth visiting, and I'm happy we made it here.

A lovely place to visit. I suggest coming here at night when the colorful lights make the place look vibrant and lively. It’s definitely worth checking out when visiting Hong Kong 🇭🇰. There are also food stalls nearby, a grand mall, and a Starbucks where you can grab a drink or snack so you won’t go hungry or thirsty. You can even find people offering round boat trips around the river which makes the visit even more fun and memorable. I highly recommend this place.
