Tsim Sha Tsui

One of the best things to see in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) is, well, Central. There are fabulous cross-harbor views from the Star Ferry Pier as well as from the ferries themselves. The sweeping pink-tile Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Former KCR (Kowloon-Canton Railway) Clock Tower are a stone's throw away, the first stop along the breezy pedestrian TST East Promenade, which starts at the Avenue of Stars and stretches a couple of miles east. Try to visit the promenade once in the daytime and once at 8 pm for the Symphony of Lights, a nightly show in which 44 skyscrapers light up on cue as a commentator introduces them in time to a musical accompaniment.
