Tsim Sha Tsui is home to some of the city’s best malls, restaurants and museums. Looking to start the year with some cultural activities? Visit the museums nearby for special exhibitions on Chinese culture, such as Chinese calligraphy and traditional wedding customs. The sought-after dinosaur exhibition at the Science Museum has also been extended for the new year period.
Writing fai chun is a traditional Chinese New Year custom, but how much do you know about Chinese calligraphy? The Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMOA) presents ‘By the People: Creative Chinese Characters’, an exhibition that explores the use of Chinese characters in everyday life, business and artistic creation. Meanwhile, ‘City Rhymes: The Melodious Notes of Calligraphy’ is an interactive exhibition that showcases over 70 pieces of Hong Kong calligraphers. You can even try your hands at calligraphy by using water in place of ink at the exhibition, and enjoy a hearty Australian meal at Hue, a hidden restaurant within HKMOA, and a perfect place to take in panoramic views of Victoria Harbour.
For a taste of authentic Hong Kong food, the Tsim Sha Tsui Haiphong Road Temporary Cooked Food Bazaar offers heart-warming beef balls, pork chops, Hong Kong-style milk tea and French toast. Renovated in 2020, the market retains its tin roof, rounded lanterns and large fans, giving it a nostalgic Hong Kong atmosphere.
Double the happiness this Chinese New Year with a visit to the Hong Kong Museum of History, where you can soak in the joyful atmosphere of a traditional wedding. The ‘Joyous Destiny: A Selection of Wedding Memorabilia from the Museum’s Collections’ exhibition features over 60 pieces of precious wedding artefacts, showcasing traditional Chinese marriage rituals and customs, including wedding documents, accessories, dresses, sedan chairs and more.
The Hong Kong Science Museum has extended its sought-after exhibition ‘The Big Eight — Dinosaur Revelation’ until 22 February 2023. The exhibition features eight sets of rare assembled fossil skeletons and a baby sauropod on loan from museums and institutions in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
The Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront has preserved a handful of historic landmarks. The most iconic one has to be the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, which rings at hourly intervals from 8am to 12am daily.
Neighbouring the clock tower is 1881 Heritage, best known for its Victorian-style architecture. The Former Marine Police Headquarters has transformed into a popular shopping and dining hub, where visitors can still experience its classical charm.
The Avenue of Stars on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront is lined with handprints and signatures of over 100 movie stars and directors. Redesigned in 2019, the bronze statue of Bruce Lee was installed with a flowing water base, echoing his “be water” Jeet Kune Do philosophy. Visitors can find out more about the stars by scanning the QR codes, and take interactive photos with the statues of Bruce Lee and Anita Mui using the SnapPop augmented reality (AR) app.
