Plan for the day : Tour Tsim Sha Tsui (尖沙咀) and walk around until my leg want to break. 
Main venue : Avenue of Star(星光大道), Victoria Harbour(維多利亞港), Harbour City(海港城), Comic Avenue(漫畫星光大道), Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower(尖沙咀鐘樓)
How to go : To go Avenue of Star, from the Tsim Sha Tsui clock tower, the sea is on your right hand side, go straight follow the promenade, it will connect to Avenue of Star.

Next stop of the night Avenue of Star.

Avenue of Star is a promenade that is similar to Hollywood Walk of Fame. It honor the celebrity of Hong Kong film industry. The biggest name in Hong Kong film industry leave their name here. Some of the celebrity left their hand prints on the plaques. But most just have their name on the plaques as they may have pass away before this Avenue of Star is built.


If you come from the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui clock tower, you should be on the left of the map above. For those who more interested to take photo with their favourite artist plaque, those more modern artist is at the mid and end of the promenade. The begin of the promenade is mostly older celebrity.

I am not sure if I miss any of them, I am too tired to walk back and make sure it. Below is all the photo I took there.


This statue marks the entrance to Star Avenue.


Anita Mui statue. She is one of the most memorable star in Hong Kong entertainment industry. A singer and also an actress with numerous awards. She is not just famous in Hong Kong but I believe any country with Chinese people would hear her song or watch her movie before. 



A bit sad with this plaque. Leslie Cheung, he left before leaving his hand print. 


Andy Lau. Another legendary status celebrity in Hong Kong entertainment history. Andy Lau achievement is massive and he even got recorded in Guinness Book of Records "Most Award Won by a Cantopop Male Artist"


Jet Li, a martial art actor that is famous even in Hollywood. His martial art movie is remembered as one of the best in Hong Kong Movie history.





He is still alive. I guess he don't want to leave his hand print because of some superstitious old belief.


A cute piggy statue. Can guess who is this? I got visit this statue earlier at Comic Avenue.




Her hand print is so deep. Don't know is good thing or bad thing.


歌神, Jacky Cheung.







That is all the plaque with hand print that I recognize their name. A lot more that either only has plaque or i don't remember such a celebrity.
