Hong Kong-Macau Adventure: Tsim Sha Tsui Area and Avenue of the Stars



HK Skyline


This is the twenty-eighth part of our 4-days-3-nights Hong Kong-Macau Adventure.

When we arrived at the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, we bought some Salonpas for our aching feet and muscles haha. Then we headed on to the Sogo Mall located in Salisbury Road. The mall is located underground and opened last 2005. Unfortunately, when we got there, it was near closing time so we were not able to explore fully. But, for us, this is a better mall compared to those high-end stores.


Salonpas Galore!


After our mall tour, we walked towards the Avenue of the Stars. Avenue of the Stars is a 400-meter long stretch of waterside promenade along the northern side of Victoria Harbour and in front of the New World Centre at Tsim Sha Tsui. The Avenue is based on the Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and it takes tribute to the stars of the Hong Kong film industry. All over the floor of the avenue are different plaques emblazoned with names of famous HK actors and actresses. There are also different sculptures of notable stars, souvenir kiosks, food carts, and interesting HK tidbits all around the avenue. You can also see the HK skyline from here.

We were not able to explore the whole of Avenue of Starts because our feet were killing us so we just took some pictures, rested a bit, and headed on to shop around the TST area. We had a jackpot shopping at the Giordano store which has tshirts costing only 100hkd. We were also able to buy different things at the Bonjour store in TST.

After that, we opted to have our dinner in Yoshinoya at TST. We bought the beef bowl set which costs 35hkd. It was delicious and it was huge, 2 persons could share one set meal. After eating, we explored some more stores and then finally, called it a night.

Up next, our flight back to Manila and a summary of our Hong Kong-Macau Trip.

SUMMARY OF EXPENSES:
Salonpas: 29hkd
