Tsimshatsui
............................................................................................................................
"The Peninsula" a century ago the only way to reach the
Peninsula is through Star Ferry but today, visitors may
drive through the Cross-Harbour Tunnel or whiz under the
harbour on the Mass Transit Railway. Next to the Star
Ferry is the Star House, which contains the first of the
shopping arcades. There is the large Chinese Arts and
Crafts store, where everything from garments to expensive
procelain may be purchased. Adjoining the Star House/Hong
Kong Hotel Complex is the Ocean Terminal/Ocean
Centre/Harbour City complex, one of the largest
air-conditioned and interconnected shopping centre in
Asia. Other interesting places includes, Space Museum,
Planetarium, Space Theater, Hong Kong Museum of Art and
Hong Kong Cultural Centre which is a theatre complex
capable of staging anything from grand opera or intimate
theater. Tsimshatsui is also the heart of Hong Kong
nightlife. |
