Tsim Sha Tsui

Tsim Sha Tsui has long been Hong Kong’s premier tourist area and has been subjected to extensive development over past decades.

In the 19th century it was full of villages, and incense trees were gathered at the quays. In 1888, the Star Ferry began a service between TST and Central and the area developed from then, firstly as a garden city for wealthy expatriates and then as a busy loading area with wharves and godowns.



Residential Blocks

Although Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the main shopping areas, there are also several popular residential buildings in the area. Victoria Tower has three towers with 2 or 3 bedroom layouts and it has club house facilities. The Masterpiece was built in 2009 and at 67 storeys height, most of the apartments offer stunning harbour views. To date, it is the tallest residential development in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. 

There are also several serviced apartment in the area including Gateway Apartments located in The Harbour City complex. This well-run tower of serviced apartments offers units from studio to 3 bedrooms. All are fitted to a high standard and come luxuriously furnished and equipped. Shops and supermarkets are located in the Harbour City complex. Shama Tsim Sha Tsui serviced apartments and Pinnacle serviced apartments are also located in the area.

The Star Ferry connects Tsim Sha Tsui to Central and Wan Chai. Various hydrofoil services out of the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal on Canton Road link Tsim Sha Tsui to Macau, Guangzhou, and several other places in the Pearl River Delta.
