Avenue of Stars
Hong Kong's answer to the Hollywood Walk of Fame lines the edge of Victoria Harbour — Kowloon's film royalty, waterfront air, and the city skyline across the water.

Opened in 2004 with HK$40 million in private funding before being handed to the Hong Kong government as public property, the avenue honours the Hong Kong film industry's celebrities. The 73 original inductees were chosen jointly by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association and readers of City Entertainment magazine — a specific, curated canon rather than a generic walk.
What to look for

More to see in Hong Kong
- International Commerce CentreAt 484 m, this is the only building in Hong Kong with more than 100 floors — and it had to be trimmed down so it wouldn't overtop the surrounding mountains.
- Bank of China TowerThe first skyscraper outside the United States to break 1,000 feet — its glass triangles cut the Central skyline unlike anything around it.
- Central PlazaA four-bar neon clock 374 metres above Wan Chai changes colour every 15 minutes, blinking at each quarter-hour change.
- Hong Kong DisneylandThe only Disneyland where a walkway was deliberately bent so good qi energy would not drain into the South China Sea.
- The CenterAfter dark, hundreds of neon bars scroll slowly through the full color spectrum from base to crown — a light show wired into the steel itself.
- Tsing Ma BridgeThe span that ended Lantau Island's water-only isolation — 1,377 metres of road and rail hung from two towers.
