Description

Essentials about Tsim Sha Tsui in brief

For shopaholics, Hong Kong is a true shopper’s paradise. And the shopping mecca of Hong Kong is Tsim Sha Tsui. In the district on the southern tip of the Kowloon peninsula, you can truly store yourself into a frenzy, so many shopping malls, department stores and boutiques are here.

The shopping centers of Tsim Sha Tsui

In the many shopping malls of Tsim Sha Tsui alone, you can easily spend a day (or more). The HarbourCity with its over 700 stores is the largest and most popular shopping center in Hong Kong. If you like it luxurious, you should go to the 1881 Mall, where all international luxury brands are represented, especially from the areas of watches, jewelry and leather goods. If you want to get a luxury bargain, you should visit the DFS Galleria. Here is the opportunity to grab brands like Cartier, Gucci and Tiffany’s at great prices.

The One shopping center is Hong Kong’s tallest mall, with an incredible 29 stories. And K11 is trying to position itself as the world’s first art mall. In addition to the many stores, art objects are exhibited and art events are held. If you still don’t have full pockets, you can continue shopping at the Empire Centre, iSQUARE and Tsim Sha Tsui Centre.

The shopping streets of Tsim Sha Tsui

The streets of Tsim Sha Tsui have very different “shopping charactars”. Canton Road is known for pure luxury and is therefore often compared with Fifth Avenue in New York City. From Chanel to Gucci to Louis Vuitton, all the well-known luxury brands have a store here. Granville Road and Granville Circuit are home to more affordable brands, which is why these streets are among the most popular shopping addresses for younger people.

Even those who are not interested in shopping should definitely have seen at least one street in Tsim Sha Tsui, and that is Nathan Road. The main street of the district is definitely worth a photo with its shopping malls, boutiques, stores and restaurants, but especially because of the many neon signs and the crowds of people who are on the move here every day.

The sights of Tsim Sha Tsui

After a good meal, you should stretch your legs. Kowloon Park is the ideal location for this. Located in the northwest of Tsim Sha Tsui, the 33-hectare park is one of Hong Kong’s largest inner-city green spaces. Once a British military compound, Kowloon Park now features a swimming pool, birdhouses, soccer fields and a maze garden.

Tsim Sha Tsui is not only a great neighborhood for shopping and dining, but also has several attractions to offer visitors. On the banks of Victoria Harbour is the Avenue of Stars, a Hong Kong-style walk of fame honoring the stars of China’s vibrant film industry. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre is the city’s largest multi-purpose hall. The 1,700-seat theater and 2,000-plus-seat concert hall host opera, dance and theater performances as well as classical, pop and rock concerts. Museum lovers will find the Hong Kong Space Museum and the Hong Kong Museum of Art right next to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
