If we had to pick the top three tourist attractions in Los Angeles, the Hollywood Walk of Fame would certainly make the cut, but it turns out this isn’t the only sidewalk of its kind. Hong Kong is also home to a similar street dedicated to the country’s biggest movie stars, aptly called the Avenue of Stars.
Avenue of Stars is a part of a promenade located in Hong Kong’s area of Tsim Sha Tsui, right along the Victoria Harbor waterfront. It was introduced in 2004 to honor the stars of the Hong Kong film industry, and it now features many handprints and plaques with their names.
At the very entrance to the Avenue of Stars, you’ll be greeted by an enormous replica of the statuette given to winners at the Hong Kong Film Awards. And that’s not the only impressive sculpture on the premises—there’s also a 2.5-meter bronze statue of Bruce Lee located nearby.
Even if you visited the Hollywood Walk of Fame and found it disappointing, you probably won’t feel the same way about the Avenue of Stars. In addition to celebrating Hong Kong’s movie scene, this tourist attraction owes its enormous popularity to the magnificent views of Victoria Harbor it offers to visitors, and you should make sure to observe the Symphony of Lights display from this spot.
