SPD3159 Heritage Hong Kong : Building - Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower

分享
Today, I will bring all of you to visit The Hong Kong Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower.  It is located in Tsim Sha Tsui and it was opened for traffic on 1 October 1910. The construction of a terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui started in 1913 and the clock tower was completed in 1915 to form part of the complex. The main terminus building was demolished in 1978 leaving only the clock tower which has become a landmark of Hong Kong. The clock tower is 44m high surmounted by a 7m lightning rod.


Nowdays, the train station is already move out to Hung Hom and Tsui Sha Tsui East. The Clock Tower change to an attraction now. It attracts many tourists to take photos here. As  I mention before, the clock tower is already a landmark of Hong Kong. It can represent Hong Kong. In there, people can walk along the pier, see the beautiful seeview of Victoria Harbour. So everyone should bring your camera to go to Tsim Sha Tsui take the wonderful memory.
