A New Chapter for Hong Kong’s Waterfront
Hong Kong’s East Coast Boardwalk has officially completed its 13-kilometer stretch from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, with its final section opening last month. This urban marvel, first envisioned in 2009, now offers residents and travelers a vibrant space to walk, jog, or cycle along Victoria Harbour’s iconic skyline. 🌟
Features That Shine
The newly opened Eastern Section includes a glass observatory deck for panoramic harbor views, a pet-friendly zone near Tin Chiu Street 🐾, and flexible open-air spaces for pop-up art installations and community events. A movable bascule bridge adds both functionality and charm, blending accessibility with marine operations.
Boosting Livability & Tourism
For locals, the boardwalk expands much-needed recreational space in the bustling city. For visitors, it’s a fresh way to experience Hong Kong’s waterfront—slow, scenic, and Instagram-ready 📸. The project aligns with the region’s push for people-centered urban design, enhancing quality of life while drawing global travelers.
A Vision Realized
Over 15 years in the making, this milestone reflects Hong Kong’s commitment to transforming its harborfront into a dynamic, inclusive hub. As one resident put it: “It’s not just a path—it’s where the city breathes.” 🌆
