Originally the home to several waste paper recycling industries, they were relocated to make way for the opening of the promenade in 2010 and and an additional expansion in 2015. Now over a kilometre in length, this open space has become a favourite for locals and increasingly popular with tourists as an alternative to TST and Hong Kong Island's overcrowded waterfronts.
The promenade overlooks the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter and its many yachts and other vessels, as well as the massive Kai Tak Cruise Terminal jutting out into the heart of Victoria Harbour.
The promenade is equally popular with joggers, couples, and families; all come to enjoy a bit of fresh harbour air and the scenic views. But once the sun goes down, that is when the promenade truly comes to life. Tasteful dark, colourful lighting has created a welcoming environment for all and the urban art installations shine spectacularly. Evenings are by far the best time for photo taking.
Come and enjoy the view, there are plenty of places to sit and relax. There are a couple cafes located at both ends of the promenade that offer tea, coffee and snacks. Rotating art projects constantly bring new life to this vibrant waterfront as well.
The GZ for this cache is located at the southernmost end of the promenade, behind the driving school and near the Kwun Tong Public Pier (not the closed pier further down the waterfront), where you can catch a ferry to Sai Wan Ho every 30 minutes. Though the GZ is open 24H, please be aware if you are coming from the south, the pedestrian passage through Kwun Tong Vehicular Ferry Pier is only open 6AM-12:00AM. Though there are no security cameras observing the GZ, please be aware that this is a fairly high traffic area for coming and going to the ferry as well as a popular spot for joggers to turn around. Please be stealthy and return the container to the same spot.
