Hong Kong: Tsim Sha Tsui ... What To Offer?

Hong Kong is not as big as CHINA! LOL! But you can't stroll the whole of Hong Kong for one day.

I chose (since I'm the tour guide) TST (short for Tsim Sha Tsui) because its more convenient for a tourist than any places in Hong Kong, though I really like to stay in Causeway Bay.

Tsim Sha Tsui has a lot to offer for tourist; shopping, food trip, cultural exploration, and photo ops.

Most famous spots in TST for tourist:

Avenue of the Stars (AOS) -- a Hollywood walk of fame - esque, where you can find the stars of Hong Kong celebrities (e.g. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yung Fat, and others).

Located along Victoria Harbour waterfront. If you're coming from Nathan Road, take the Haiphong Road to Canton Road then left turn at the corner of Haiphong and Canton. Walk towards Canton Road, once you reach Marco Polo Hotel and see the Clock tower, then you almost reach your destination.

Symphony of Lights (SOL) -- a synchronized presentation of lights from 44 buildings across Victoria Harbour waterfront accompanied by music. The show starts at 8:00 PM (evening) in good weather.

Silvercord -- this is where you'll find shops like H&M and I.T., you can also find the famous Taiwanese restaurant Din Tai Fung here and more affordable in Food Republic.

Food Republic

H&M

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Located at the corner of Haiphong Road and Canton Road.

Harbour City -- this is where you'll find high-end and luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, etc.

Located along Canton Road.

Mirador Mansion -- this is where you'll find the "money changer"of Hong Kong, Wing Hoi, the best foreign exchange rate in the ♥ of TST. You can also find the cheapest souvenirs inside this building.

Located along Nathan Road, 13th or 14th stop from airport if taking a bus A/N21.


Heritage 1881 -- one of the best site for photo ops and this where you'll find luxury brands for jewelry.

Slim Fit or Italian Fit? What Eva!

I love French girls because of chic and fabulous style but Italian guys are sexy...do you know why?

Based from The Sartorialist himself, Italian guys look sexy because of two main factors; Back dart and meticulously rolled-up sleeves.

A darted shirt is a two stitched down folds of fabric on the back of the shirt that gives you a fitted look (in-case you have no idea what back dart means!), but it depends on your preference how fit you wanted it to be. Many brands nowadays sell darted shirt (slim fit) but cost higher compare to a regular shirt without dart,  brands like Zara, Topman, United Colors of Benetton, and even high-end brands. But you can have darted shirt without costing you much. A visit to your favorite seamstress and repair your regular fit shirt is an inexpensive way to have darted shirt, how much will it cost you? less than PH 200 or $4?

So if you want the "Italian Fit"...DART it! LOL.

But I don't want to see flashing nips! hahaha... it means too tight!
