Clock Tower

Standing at 44 metres tall, the old Clock Tower was erected in 1915 as part of the Kowloon–Canton Railway terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui. The once-bustling station is long gone, but this red brick and granite tower, now preserved as a Declared Monument, survives as an elegant reminder of the Age of Steam. It has also been a memorable landmark for the millions of Chinese immigrants who passed through the terminus to begin new lives not just in Hong Kong, but in other parts of the world via the city’s harbour. In celebration of the centenary of the Clock Tower Bell, the chimes can be heard every hour from 8am to midnight.
