The Bruce Lee statue is 2.5 meters tall and was originally unveiled in 2005.
The promenade was redesigned in 2019 to include digital QR codes at celebrity plaques that lead to movie clips and film information.
The paving materials were specifically selected for durability against the humid, salty sea-air environment.
The site uses a 'smart' lighting system that adjusts intensity based on the time of night to reduce light pollution.
The Avenue of Stars is a waterfront promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui that pays tribute to Hong Kong's film industry. It features over 100 celebrity handprints embedded into the handrails and paving, including those of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. The site is designed by landscape architect James Corner, who integrated fluid, wave-like seating areas throughout the space. It offers unobstructed views of the Victoria Harbour skyline and the Hong Kong Island waterfront. Visitors can view various bronze statues, such as the iconic Bruce Lee statue and a depiction of the McDull character. The promenade serves as a key viewing platform for the nightly harbour light displays. It is a public thoroughfare built to emphasize connectivity between the waterfront and the Tsim Sha Tsui retail district. The walkway is lined with native Bauhinia trees and low-profile lighting to minimize obstruction of the harbor view.
