At Kowloon Shangri-La, your exploration of the city starts right outside our doors. The visual spectacle of Hong Kong’s modern skyline and busy Victoria Harbour, and the energy of Kowloon’s shopping and sightseeing districts are just steps away. "Discover Hong Kong", from the Hong Kong Tourism Board Website  Apart from food, shopping and popular places of interest, Tsim Sha Tsui alone is a land of legends brimming with cultural heritage and fascinating stories. As the very first hotel to open in the reclaimed Tsim Sha Tsui East, we pioneered a project featuring a guided walking tour to unearth some hidden gems in this area.
