The
Avenue of Stars is a unique movie-themed
tourism attraction in Hong Kong. It serves
to pay tribute to the achievement of Hong
Kong's movie industry workers and artists,
and to capitalize on the popularity of Hong
Kong movies to visitors.
The
Avenue of Stars is located on the Tsim Sha
Tsui Promenade stretching from the southern
end of Salisbury Garden to the New World
Centre. The 6-metre tall Hong Kong Film
Awards Statue and the newly-erected Bruce
Lee Statue are the icons of the Avenue.
Other film elements include the stars' handprints
and milestones of Hong Kong's movie history.
What's more, the special lighting effects
on the ground create a glittering galaxy
along the promenade.
Apart
from being a well-received tourism attraction,
the Avenue of Stars is also a popular venue
for outdoor performance. Given its harbourfront
location, the Avenue also provides an excellent
vantage point for the appreciation of the
unimpeded harbour view and the spectacular
"A Symphony of Lights".
The
Avenue of Stars was donated by the New World
Group and is managed and maintained by the
Group.
