Former Kowloon–Canton Railway Clock Tower
尖沙咀钟楼
The only surviving structure of the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Tsim Sha Tsui station, and one of the most iconic landmarks on the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbour.
Built in 1915 as part of the Kowloon-Canton Railway's Tsim Sha Tsui terminus, the station was demolished in 1978 after trains moved to Hung Hom. Only this roughly 44-metre red-brick and granite clock tower was preserved, and it is now a declared monument. Beside it are the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and the Star Ferry pier. The waterfront offers views of the Central skyline and is a popular spot for night photography of the harbour. The exterior can be viewed free of charge, but the interior is generally closed to the public. It is about a five-minute walk from Tsim Sha Tsui or Tsim Sha Tsui East MTR stations.
