"hong kong" Hong Kong by 1gorams

beautiful board walk. since the last time i was in hong kong in 1998 i missed the opportunity to see this " avenue of the stars ". this avenue opened in 2004. I am including it in my travelogue so as to learn more about it. the avenue of the stars is modelled on the hollywood walk of fame. it honours celebrities of the hong kong flim industry, including bruce lee and jackie chan. I hope to visit again sometime in the future.
