Tsim Sha Tsui East
Barrier-free Index★★★★☆
In the 1980s and 1990s, Tsim Sha Tsui East was dominated by business, entertainment and tourism. At night, entertainment venues, such as bars, nightclubs, karaoke halls and theatres, were the liveliest places. Nowadays, Tsim Sha Tsui East, in addition to a major commercial area, also welcomes hotels, restaurants and large shopping malls. In recent years, the large-scale expansion of transportation system and the revonation of Avenue of Stars have been carried out in this district. With the water taxi sightseeing route opened in July 2021 and the two existing exhibition halls, Tsim Sha Tsui East has become a place good enough for dining, shopping, leisure, sightseeing, culture and art. Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong Museum of History, and Avenue of Stars will be introduced to tourists in this route.

Hong Kong Museum of History
Visitors who take a bus to the Hong Kong Museum of History can get off at Tsim Sha Tsui East Bus Terminus and cross Science Museum Road before reaching the back of the Museum. Wheelchair users can detour along the pavement to the activity room (ground) at Chatham Road South, and take the lift at the entrance to the Museum. The permanent exhibitions in the Hong Kong Museum of History include the history of Hong Kong, archaeological discoveries in Hong Kong and southern China, precious cultural relics and materials, and folk customs as well as stories in Hong Kong. However, "The Hong Kong Story" exhibition was closed for renewal at the end of 2020, which is now replaced by "Recreating a Classic: The Best Features of The Hong Kong Story" until the completion of the renewal project.
Short comments: The barrier-free facilities in the Museum of History include automatic doors in the cellar and on the ground floor, speakers and braille display in the lift, ramps through all exhibition areas, service counters for wheelchair users in the ticket office, and accessible toilets on all floors. There is also a spacious restaurant in the museum, which is convenient for wheelchair users to have a meal.

The Avenue of Stars is a special attraction with the theme of commending the outstanding film workers in Hong Kong. The names and palms of those people are embedded on a special commemorative plaque. Over a hundred superstar artists, including Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung, have printed their hands. The figures of the famous superstars Bruce Lee and Anita Mui were cast into bronze statues for everyone to visit and take pictures. At the end of 2021, a musical fountain show called "Water of Stars" was also added, allowing everyone to rejoice in the beautiful fountain effects, charming lighting and orchestra performance. There is a pier on the Avenue of Stars for water taxis that provide water sightseeing services at Victoria Harbour so that tourists can ride to enjoy the bright night view of Victoria Harbour.
