The Avenue of Stars is set to become Hong Kong's next major tourist attraction when it opens on April 27.
Complementing the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, the avenue will feature pavement plaques commemorating Hong Kong movie personalities, past and present.
Outlining the local film industry's 100-year history, it also features a welcoming video, sculptures and souvenir kiosks. Special lighting will make the atmosphere even more enchanting at night.
Tourism Board Executive Director Clara Chong said Sunday that the Avenue of Stars caters to the huge interest in Hong Kong movies that international film fans have developed over the decades.
She said tourism staff will soon hand out Avenue of Stars information to tourists at Hong Kong's airports and immigration checkpoints. Tourists will also see theme decorations in various parts of the city.
The Tourism Board is preparing a Hong Kong Movie Odyssey Guide featuring locations used for a number of famous Hong Kong scenes, allowing visitors to explore the areas used for their favorite cinematic pieces.
Hong Kong Tourism Board has also been working closely with the global travel trade to package and promote the avenue along with various movie-related activities.
