West Kowloon Promenade (西九龍海濱長廊)

One of the best kept secrets in Hong Kong. A large part of the waterfront is a boardwalk – with real solid wood, a rarity in Hong Kong. There are toilets and vending machines. It is quiet most of the time but not totally deserted. There is even a bicycle rink – the white circle to the left. Sometimes young people practice their tricks there. The Promenade is quiet most of the time but not totally deserted.

It is a nice place to soak up some sun, watch the traffic in the harbour, or to do a bit of jogging. A loop around the greenery is about one mile, a nice workout. To practice for the 10K run, one can trying running from here eastwards It is quiet most of the time but not totally deserted. on Austin Road, down Canton Road to the TsimShaTsui Ferry, along the TsimEast Promenade, then cross over to Hung Hom.

You won’t find too many places like it in Hong Kong.
