This has
to be one of the most beautiful waterfront strolls that you can have with your
date in the evening. I would say that though it does not have the sidewalk restaurants
like those along the river in Singapore, it has the view to make up for it because
you can see Hong Kong Island across the harbor with all its buildings. No picture
can do it justice - even if you have a large-format camera. (TST is short for
Tsim Sha Tsui).

:the breathtaking view of Hong Kong Island and the Victoria Harbor from Tsim Sha
Tsui promenade - good to sit and take it all in.
Since
a marriage registration office is nearby, sometimes you will also get to witness
the taking of bridal pictures. On a day deemed lucky to the Chinese, you will
even see more than one couple.
Pictured above are brides and a groom posing for photographers at the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. No, I don't think the groom is marrying two brides at once. The other groom is just out of the picture, so to speak!
