As part of my planned itinerary, I know that after our Nan Lian Garden and Wong Tai Sin Temple escapade we have to find a place where we can eat a super late lunch. We were actually looking for authentic Hongkong street food hub but unfortunately we don’t know where is the exact location. For a safer side, we decided to go to Langham Place since it is linked to Tsim Sha Tsui Station (Exit C3).
Langham Place is a commercial shopping centre in Mongkok with more than 200 shops to choose from but our intention here is purely to find something to eat. As we step inside, we were impress to see the creative design that could attract lots of mall-goers/tourist. This mall is known for its 83m long indoor escalator where we never hesitate to give a try. Then, we proceed to food court for our much-awaited mid-lunch break.
Langham Place
While we were in Langham Place, we are discussing if we will proceed directly to airport or take an MTR to Central Station as per listed in our itinerary or pulled off some time to explore the area around Tsim Sha Tsui Station. Of course, we choose the latter. This is something that I never research so I’m bit afraid of the possible outcome. Without any plan on mind, we get out of the mall and casually walk to the next street.
We thought we were lost in Hongkong but we are assuring each other that as long as we remember the way going back to station then we are still okay. We actually don’t know where we are going and to be honest we’re just following the crowd who’s also walking on the same road.
After a numerous step, we found an egg-shape dome on the other side. Out of curiosity we decided to cross the street and check if we can pay a visit. Well, this is Hongkong Space Museum which is popular to any students/locals/tourists enamored of astronomy and space science.
Hongkong Space Museum
There’s a lot of activities and exhibits inside the Hongkong Space Museum for a minimal fee.
We decided to keep on walking till we notice another possible tourist destination. Lo and behold, it was HongKong Cultural Centre that serves as a major platform for any cultural activities, conventions, theater production, etc. This place is also near to Tsim Sha Tsui Station (exit E) or East TsimSha Tsui Station (Exit L6 or J). What caught our attention is the painting on this cement ladder that invites us to check the other side.
Behind this ladder is the amazing Victoria Harbour that connect the Hongkong Island to Hongkong mainland. The breeze of air coming from the waterfront help us to relax our distressed feet.
Like other travelers, we sat down on cemented floor while overlooking the high-rise building on the other side.
Victoria Harbour
This giant Ferris Wheel is actually located in Central Waterfront Promenade but it looks so small here in Tsim Sha Tsui viewing deck.
Some activities that you can enjoy here is riding a Star Ferry navigating the harbour vicinity. This is also where you can find the Kowloon public pier.
Adjacent to observation deck in the promenade is the magnificent design of piazza which I think is also part of Hongkong Cultural Centre.
Not too far from where we stand is the Hongkong iconic clock tower.
I’m sure there’s still a lot of things we could discover if we have more free time on this area but we need to travel back to airport for our schedule departure. This is us on the busy road in Tsim Sha Tsui—our feet is aching but our heart is smiling.
Our unplanned stopover to Tsim Sha Tsui teaches us to be flexible on our schedule, be courageous enough to get lost and found again the right path and intrepid to look for a new awesome discovery.
