This is the "Walk of Fame" in Asia, like in Hollywood,you'll also see plaques and handprints of stars.There's also Bruce Lee statue.It's also the best place to watch A Symphony of Lights in the evening from the Kowloon side.

The Symphony of lights has been named the world's largest permanent sound and light show. The show takes place every night between 8-8.15pm and is best seen from the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront between the Avenue of Stars and the Hong Kong Cultural centre. We viewed it from a raised area past the clock tower. 33 buildings on both the Kowloon and the Hong Kong island are decked out in lights, flickering with lasers to music.

Located in front of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on the Wan Chai waterfront, Golden Bauhinia Square and its two monuments – the Forever Blooming Bauhinia and the Reunification Monument – commemorate the return of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. A flag-raising ceremony takes place every morning between 7:50 and 8:03, and the flags are lowered at 6:00 pm daily. The surrounding waterfront is perhaps the best place on Hong Kong Island to watch A Symphony of Lights.

Located in one of the New Territories, Yuen Long, and in the shadows of towering tenements, the Hong Kong Wetlands Park is a 60+ hectare integrated educational/recreational venue designed to protect and raise awareness for wetlands. In addition to several interactive educational activities, the park boasts extensive wetland habitats, outdoor exhibits, boardwalks, and bird hides.
