The Tsim Tha Tsui Clock Tower尖沙咀鐘樓 zim1 saa1 zeoi2 zung1 lau4, where Tsim Sha Tsui is used to refer to the location of the tower, is one of the historical assets of Hong Kong. The tower is 44 metres high with a 7-metre lightning rod. There is a staircase inside the Tower Clock for reaching the top, but it is not open for visit now.
The Clock Tower is in fact a remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower. After the Kowloon Station had been moved to Hung Hom, the building of the station was demolished while the Clock Tower was preserved as a mark of history.
It is near Vicotria Harbour and Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier. The view of Victoria Harbour is wonderful and people must visit this Clock Tower if they go to Hong Kong.
You can go there by Mass Transit Railway in Hong Kong and get off at the Tsim Sha Tsui station.
Many Hong Kong people celebrate Christmas even if they are not christians. In Tsim Sha Tsui, there are many different kinds of decoration and illuminations of Santa Clause, chirstmas trees and etc, hanging on the wall of buildings. People can go and enjoy the colourful and magnificent illuminations there. Also, perhaps there may be some Christian singing Christmas carols in the street. At that time, Tsim Sha Tsui would probabily be crowded with people and you can enjoy a happy and unforgettable christmas in such an atmosphere.
