On December 29, 2025, Hong Kong’s long-awaited waterfront dream took shape as the Eastern Section of the East Coast Boardwalk in North Point officially opened, completing the final 1 km of the 13 km trail from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. This milestone not only marks a win for urban development but also brings fresh vibes to daily life and tourism.
Designed for everyone—walkers, joggers, and cyclists—the new stretch offers exciting features: a glass observatory deck with panoramic views of Victoria Harbour 🌊, a pet-friendly zone near Tin Chiu Street where pups can roam free 🐾, and versatile open spaces ready for art exhibits and community events 🎨. A widened footpath, a small plaza in Quarry Bay, and a movable bascule bridge enhance accessibility while supporting local marine operations.
For Hong Kong residents, the completed boardwalk means more spots to unwind, exercise, and connect with neighbors. For visitors, it’s a fresh way to experience the city’s iconic skyline at their own pace. Initially planned back in 2009, the East Coast Boardwalk reflects Hong Kong’s commitment to creating people-centered, livable spaces.
Next time you’re in the city, charge your phone, lace up your sneakers, and come explore this vibrant waterfront walkway—your new favorite urban escape awaits! 🚶♀️🚴♂️
