Art along the Promenade

A tourist hot spot in Hong Kong is the Avenue of Stars. In all honesty there's not much point for Western tourists as we don't really know who any of the 'stars' are. Out of the dozens that line the paving slabs, I think I counted six that I know.

Regardless of that fact, the walk along the Avenue of Stars is amazing for the view it offers of the famous Hong Kong skyline. It's along the water, so there's often a cooling breeze that offers a little respite on a hot day. And there's also the excitement of the boats, in their various shapes and sizes.

Recently I went to the Avenue of Stars and there was an art exhibition on display, Playgrounds: Contemporary French Photography (S. Couturier, G. Garcin, A. Bublex). It was wonderful to see this art displayed outside and it gave an added feel to the walk.

Not only did the art exhibition heighten the enjoyment of the walk along the promenade, but the clouds were rolling in and made for a wonderfully atmospheric view of the famous skyline.

For those of you living in Hong Kong the exhibition is on until May 2nd and is well worth a visit! Avenue of Stars, Tsim Sha Shui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
