Tsim Sha Tsui is on the Kowloon Side of Hong Kong. I'd say this is like Central/Causeway Bay but on Kowloon rather than Hong Kong Island.
You will find numerous fancy shops, restaurants, hotels, museums, etc. in Tsim Sha Tsui...

Most, if not all, name brand places are located in this general area. |

There was a line outside Chanel waiting to get in the last time I was in the area. o.o |

Chungking Mansions
"Chungking Mansions features guesthouses, curry restaurants, African bistros, clothing shops, sari stores, and foreign exchange offices. It often acts as a large gathering place for some of the ethnic minorities in Hong Kong, particularly South Asians (Indians, Nepalese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans), Middle Eastern people, Nigerians, Europeans, Americans, and many other peoples of the world. Peter Shadbolt of CNN stated that the complex was the "unofficial African quarter of Hong Kong (Wikipedia)."
My favorite restaurant in HK (possibly in the world), The Delhi Club (Indian food), is found here (another post). |
There's a nice bar located in The One (a shopping center) called Cocky Bar (18/F, The ONE, 100 Nathan Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui). If you have time, give it a visit. If you sit outside, you'll get a spectacular view of Hong Kong Island.
You could make reservations for special days/holidays, but there is a minimum order of $300HKD(?) from Friday to Saturday/Sunday and holidays... I think.

The spectacular view (on a good day). This is obviously not my picture because I seem to always go to places when it's foggy or raining. -_________- |

Actually, just kidding... I got a pretty good shot myself. I guess I got lucky this time. :D |
