Tsim Sha Tsui
 

Known as the "Shopping Paradise", Hong Kong's shopping districts mainly concentrate on Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.

Tsim Sha Tsui is located at the very tip of Kowloon peninsula and is best reached by taking the scenic Star Ferry across the harbor from Central. As well as jaw-dropping shopping and dining options, Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong Kong's most diverse and exhilarating locales. There is something for everyone here, from the bright lights of streets that never sleep to tranquil parks and architectural reminders of the colonial years.

Named after the British governor who designed it, bustling Nathan Road, stretching from the seaside of Tsim Sha Tsui to the Boundary Street to the north of the Kowloon Peninsula, is the major road in this area. It once was scorned as a white elephant and originally dubbed "Nathan's Folly". In recent decades, however, it has become celebrated as the "Golden Mile" because of the dazzling array of neon-decorated shops, hotels, restaurants and nightspots that flank the wide thoroughfare.

Tsim Sha Tsui prepares everything for shopper and makes sure that it can fully cater to your needs. If you desire brand name products, then you can go to Sun Plaza and Park Lane Shoppers Boulevard where various famous brand goods, such as Nike, Bossini, Esprit, and U2 can be found. And if you are fond of more modern clothes, Beverley Commercial Center can help you to follow the fashion.

Of course, if shopping is not your thing and you prefer a more cultural experience while in Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui has the highest concentration of cultural centers and museums in the area. Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Space Museum and Hong Kong Cultural Center are all situated here, providing you with a chance to taste the exciting culture and science in Hong Kong.
