"Walk of Fame" for Hong Kong

Long known as the Hollywood of East Asia, Hong Kong is set to celebrate its cinematic stars with its own version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Avenue of Stars will pay tribute Hong Kong's movie greats and become a top tourist attraction.The Avenue of Stars, which will run along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade, will be completed in mid-2004. Nominees will be selected by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association and its 10 member organizations. Each film personality chosen will be honoured with a plaque.

Milestones, sculptures, greenery, kiosks, rest facilities and special light will also be built along the walk, and regular activities will be organized to enhance its appeal.

“The Avenue of Stars builds on the fact that Hong Kong is rightfully one of the world’s major film exporters and producers, and is home to many world-renowned film stars and professionals," said Hong Kong Tourism Board Chairman Selina Chow.
