The Avenue of Stars is one of the most famous promenades in Hong Kong. Here you walk along the waterfront of Victoria Harbour, with a view that is already impressive during the day, but is also given extra atmosphere at night by the illuminated skyline. The boulevard is an ode to Hong Kong's film world. Along the way, you'll come across references to big names from this world, making it not only a great place for photos, but also a fun activity if you want to take in a little more of the city's culture.
The Avenue of Stars was set up as a tribute to Hong Kong's rich film history. For years, the city was one of the world's biggest film centers, alongside Hollywood and Bollywood. Especially in the 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong grew into an important stage for action films and martial arts, with stars who also broke through internationally.
Along the boardwalk you will find handprints, plaques and statues of icons of Hong Kong cinema. The most famous is undoubtedly Bruce Lee, whose statue has become a regular photo spot. Other actors, directors and filmmakers who have played major roles in the film industry are also given a place here. Thus, the Avenue of Stars not only tells the story of individual stars, but also shows how important film has been to Hong Kong's identity and image.
The promenade was revamped in recent years, making it more modern and uncluttered. Information boards provide additional context about the film world and the individuals honored here.
