Located at the southern end of the Kowloon peninsula, overlooking Victoria Harbour, the district of Tsim Sha Tsui or TST, is one of the tourist centres of Hong Kong. With a plentiful supply of hotels, eateries, attractions and public services it is a hub for locals as well as visitors to HK. Whether you are staying in a hotel in TST East, or just taking the iconic Star Ferry across the harbour to see the world famous skylines, Tsimshatsui is somewhere any tourist is bound to travel through The waterfront promenade with it's civic buildings including the Cultural Centre and the Space Museum on one side, and the harbour views on the other, is a must-do walk that always open and interesting. the Art Museum and the Avenue of the Stars are currently (in 2015) closed for renovation, there are no shortage of other activities to Historic buildings such as the Clock Tower, right beside Star Ferry Pier, and the old TST Marine Police station which is now an up market
shopping arcade known as Heritage 1866 express some of the history ofBut for the most part TST is a modern commercial centre and up market brand shops, ethnic diversity and a wide range of shopping Because of the wide range of populations who live, work and visit Tsim Sha Tsui it also has one of the largest ranges of dining choices inFrom traditional Cantonese Dim-Sum, which may be from budget local restaurants right up to white table cloth fine-dining establishments, to ethnic foods including many choices from the IndianChains, both local and international, and fast foodWhile special dietary requirements such as vegetarian and Halal are easily met here. Dissected by the north-south avenue of Nathan Road and the Tsuen Wan MTR line, it is also well served by public transport. TST to somewhere else is Hong Kong is more about choices and preferences, as anything is possible and most choices are very reasonably priced due to the low costs of HK public transport.
If starting to the eastern side of Tsim Sha Tsui, then these instructions are not applicable and it may be better to follow the instructions from Hong Hum. With the speed and efficiency of the underground railway or MTR it is hard to avoid this as the best option, because it goes direct on the same line from Tsim Sha Tsui all the way parallel to Nathan Road it quickly comes beside Fa Yuen Street. The only disadvantage would be if the trip is starting far to the east, in which case the TST East station is not on the right line, nor is it in closing walking distance. But for those starting around Star Ferry, around the Peninsula Hotel, or anywhere on the "Golden Mile" of Nathan Road adjacent say to Kowloon Park then this is a no-brainer as the best option. For more details about the walking instructions and other exit options read the page: While somewhat slower and less reliable than the MTR the big advantage of a bus is of course that there is a view from the window,
and if seated at the top front then an excellent view indeed is to be had of the busy Nathan Road. Make the trip part of the experience by travelling on one of the Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) busses that frequent Many KMB routes work just fine to go from Tsim Sha Tsui to Fa Yuen Street, as they all go along the main Nathan Road. If getting there is part of the experience, then make it the main experience by walking through the streets from TST to Fa Yuen Street. The distance isn't really that far, the total distance is less than four kilometers, and there are several different routes you may choose. Nathan Road is simple and has lots to see, but is a little repetitive. Alternatively try Canton Road and then Shanghai Street for some of the older, more traditional views. Worth of visiting despite you love shoes (sneakers) or not. One of the finest places in HK. Quite easy to find, and there find many signs to show you away (metro station Mong Kok)
One of my favorite places in HK! We are able to get here via MTR alighting Mongkok Station. Make sure you go out on the right MTR Exit (there are signs at MTR Station which exit you need to take). Few meters walk and you are there! Heaven as you can say for most people like me who have fascination... Rather than a lot of stores selling sneakers, it is more like 2 or 3 stores with a lot of locations. I bought two pairs of shoes at this street which I was very happy with. The shoes they sell are of very good quality and are shoes of actual brands so it is rather hard to come across a... All shops have more or less the same stock, with same prices. It is nice to see though, that many sneakerstores all together. Sneaker Street is located in Mong Kok which is a super densely populated area. The whole street is filled with sports shoes store. You should know that many of the stores are actually the same owner. They look different and have different focus. The prices are good but the only issue for me is that they don't carry very large...
As the name already mentions, you can find shops selling sneakers. If you are looking specifically for this article, go have a look. Otherwise, just keep walking. The prices here are very normal, I don't know what the whole excitement is all about. You are better off getting your sneakers from the USA outlets. As per what most of the reviews here have mentioned, the Sneakers Street along the Fa Yuen stretch is a must place to go even if you are not really into sneakers (the loafers, dress shoes, or slip-ons) type. Me myself are not into that bulky looking sneakers but ended up buying an adidas Tubular Radial because of the bargain;... After a fruitless search for sneakers in a number of shops in the Tsim Sha Tsui area, we elected to proceed to Mong Kok and tried our luck in the famed Sneakers Street. Our decision paid off beautifully as we ended up buying a nice pair of SB sneakers at 30% discount, plus other items as well. There are lots of shops but you notice that a lot of them are the same, which have the same stock, which can be good if one store doesn't have your size.
