Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre

Sitting on the Wan Chai waterfront is one of Hong Kong's most impressive and stunning pieces of architecture. The Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, with its sweeping sails and vast glass windows, is a striking visual testament to Hong Kong's ongoing development. Thanks to its wide range of state-of-the-art facilities, the HKCEC is also an ideal venue for exhibitions and trade shows and is regularly voted "the best convention and exhibition venue in Asia". The HKCEC was the site of the handover when Hong Kong was returned to the motherland in 1997; an event commemorated by the adjacent Bauhinia Square that is a huge attraction for mainland visitors. ...top

Expo Promenade

The Expo Promenade (often defined as Golden Bauhinia Square) outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on the waterfront of Wan Chai marks what was without doubt the most significant occasion in Hong Kong's history - the return of the former British Colony to the People's Republic of China (PRC), and the establishment of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. ...top

Avenue of Stars

The New World Group constructed the Tsimshatsui Waterfront Promenade in 1982. In 2003 the Group sponsored HK$40 million for the construction of the Avenue of Stars right on this promenade. The Avenue of Stars is a salute to eminent Hong Kong film workers for their devoted contribution to local and world theatres. With many visitors to Hong Kong being fans of our movies, the Avenue of Stars also serves as a tourist attraction.

The Avenue of Stars also offers incredible panoramic views of the famed VictoriaHarbour and the stunning Hong Kong skyline. It is also the perfect place to watch the spectacular A Symphony of Lights, a nightly multimedia show with added pyrotechnics on special occasions. ...top

Peak Tram

The tram has been in operation since 1888, and once competed with sedan chairs as the most popular way up. Try to get seats at the front of the tram on the right-hand side for the journey skyward.
