Study Tour | Exploring Hong Kong’s East Coast Boardwalk: A Harbourfront Transformation
Join us for a ULI-curated tour of Hong Kong's East Coast Boardwalk, a stunning new landmark that opened in January 2025. This vibrant "Harbourfront Shared Space" features paths for walking, jogging, and cycling, alongside an exclusive pedestrian walkway. Its innovative design makes use of the area beneath the Island Eastern Corridor, enhancing the shoreline of Hong Kong Island.
Key highlights include the first movable bascule and swing bridges in Victoria Harbour, which allow vessel access while ensuring smooth pedestrian flow. The Boardwalk boasts eight themed areas, including four in the western section: Sun Wave, Play Wave, Fish Wave, and Gather Wave. Additional amenities feature seating for sunset views, a play area, fitness equipment, and a fishing platform. Nearby, the revitalized Tong Shui Road Public Pier and the enhanced North Point Promenade offer even more open spaces for leisure.
To round off our tour, we’ll take a short stroll to Chun Yeung Street Wet Market, a bustling narrow street filled with stalls offering fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood. The lively atmosphere is such that the tram weaves between traders and carts. Many shops here feature unique Fujian foods that are hard to find elsewhere in Hong Kong, and you’ll hear the Fujianese dialect spoken throughout North Point. Finally, we’ll enjoy a leisurely tram ride back to Central, taking in the sights of other vibrant neighborhoods along the way.
