Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier Hotels

Wooden junks, with their distinctive red sails, are a symbol of the past, cruising towards the stunningly modern skyline of Hong Kong Island. Breezes whip up off the water, bringing with them the sense of maritime adventure that Hong Kong inspires. Victoria Harbour is the lifeblood of the city, and Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier is the place to experience its riches. Take an evening cruise under a thousand shimmering lights, or explore the cultural attractions along the promenade.

Things to see

Right next to the pier is the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, a striking, solitary, brick tower, which is the only thing left of the busy station which existed here in the colonial era. Now, it’s framed by palm trees and elegant pools of water – a historical memorial in the heart of modern Hong Kong. Wander further along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, and you’ll discover ambitious attractions, including the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The building itself is a monumental example of boundary-pushing modern architecture, most brilliant when it’s lit up at night. Inside, its vast auditoriums and theatres put on the finest operas and ballets in the country. Down on the waterfront, step into Hong Kong’s very own Avenue of Stars and Garden of Stars, where statues of Hong Kong movie legends, including Bruce Lee are surrounded by snap-happy tourists, and where you can explore Hong Kong’s cinematic heritage.
