The Clock Tower is a landmark in itself and what is left of the old Canton Railway station. There are stairs going up towards the tower so you can get some close up photos. I began my walk @ the tower every morning along the promenade. It's also a great meeting place because of it's location right there by the Star Ferry and the harbour promenade.
The only surviving part of the old Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) Station is the now iconic Clock Tower. Built in 1921, the clock tower is now an integral part of the Tsim Sha Tsui shoreline and cultural precinct to be now found here. The station was demolished in the 1970s when the terminus was moved to Hung Hom, but at least the Clock Tower was saved and is one of the few surviving colonial heritage buildings/consttructions on this part of Kowloon.
I’m not really sure why, but nearly every visitor to Hong Kong seems to take a photograph of the Clock Tower. Located next to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and adjacent to the Star Ferry Concourse in Tsim Sha Tsui, the tower was constructed in 1915 and was part of the otherwise-demolished Kowloon Canton Railway Terminus.
The Old Clock Tower is near the Star Ferry and Cultural centre on Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. It is all that remains of a old Kowloon train station. It was built in 1922. It used to be the final stop for the Orient Express coming from London.
Tsim Sha Tsui known as a shopping districts but one thing that you must see in TST is the Old Clock Tower. The Old Clock Tower is the famous landmark in Tsim Sha Tsui. Behind the Clock is the HK Cultural Centre and museum. Try to go here by night and day.
The Clock Tower is a landmark in Hong Kong. It is located on the southern shore of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Officially named Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, it is usually referred to as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower for its location.
The tower has been listed as a declared monument in Hong Kong since 1990.
The Clock Tower was part of the original Kowloon Canton Railway Station, and it came into operation in 1921. You can find the Colck Tower near the Star Ferry Concourse in Tsim Sha Tsui. Close to the tower, visitors can find Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
This tower was once part of the southern terminus of the Kowloon-Canton Railroad and built around 1922. The tower is 45 meters tall and is all that is left of the Railroad structure. The building was torn down in 1978, but built in Hung Hom (by the cross-harbour tunnel), Kowloon.
Nobody misses seeing this Clock Tower standing forlorn at Victoria Harbour. It has seen the rise of Hong Kong from backwater town to cosmopolitan city; from far flung British imperial outpost to special territory status within the Chinese yoke.
There ya go. I attached a picture of it. You could actually hit 3 other landmarks when you come to where the clock tower is. The star ferry, the observatory and the Avenue of the stars. Everything is in Tsim Sa Tsui East, Kowloon
