Hong Kong is one of the most interesting cities in China and throughout Southeast Asia .His dizzying landscapes with huge, beautifully lit skyscrapers are known all over the world .In addition, this place can rightly be called "East Hollywood", because Hong Kong gave the world a lot of actors, directors and loved all over the world film .Of course, such a city can not do without its own Alley of Stars, visiting which one can get acquainted not only with the development of local cinema, but also admire the stunning views that open from here .
The star alley appeared in Hong Kong in 2004. The prototype of this, now one of the most popular places in the city, was the Hollywood Alley. And the place where the attraction was located, was the port of spices. It is possible that this is where the best view of Hong Kong opens.

The appearance of the Alley of Stars in Hong Kong is quite consistent with its "star" criteria. The path is paved with convex objects in the shape of a pointed star, on which are left the prints of the hands of famous actors and directors. From frequent touches, many "stars" are quickly erased, so they are constantly updated.
In addition to the statues of actors on the Walk of Stars, there are also statues of directors, scriptwriters, operators and representatives of other professions connected with the cinema world .Finally, the Star Alley can boast memorial plaques, of which there are more than a hundred .The alley with the pedestrian zone occupy about 400 m, stretching along the coast .This place is very popular among locals who like to arrange a promenade here and get some fresh sea air .In addition, athletes often come here in the evening, arranging training next to recognized karate masters - Jackie and Bruce .
Walking along the alley, photographed against the background of various objects and admiring the views of Hong Kong, you can look into souvenir shops to take away some of the impressions with you.
