Embankment, Promenade, Lookout, Museum

Tsim Sha Tsui, often referred to simply as TST, lies at the southern tip of Kowloon, opposite Hong Kong Island. People mainly visit the waterfront for the views across Victoria Harbour.

Street

On the corner of Graham Street and Hollywood Road, you’ll be surprised to find a blue wall full of colourful windows and balconies nestled amongst the buildings. The Graham Street Wall is one of Hong Kong’s most famous street art spots, but it only takes a few minutes to see it all. The mural was created by Hong Kong artist Alex Croft for the G.O.D. shop.
