Hong Kong's most iconic 44-meter red brick and granite clock tower, built in 1915 as the sole survivor of the original Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus. Visit for photography, waterfront walks, and to experience colonial-era heritage right beside Victoria Harbour and the Star Ferry Pier—it's free and wheelchair accessible. Note that it draws large crowds, especially during evening hours and special events like fireworks displays.
