Tsim Sha Tsui (Chinese: 尖沙咀), often abbreviated as TST, is an urbanised area in southern Kowloon, Hong Kong. The area is administratively part of the Yau Tsim Mong District. Tsim Sha Tsui East is a piece of land reclaimed from the Hung Hom Bay now east of Tsim Sha Tsui. The area is bounded north by Austin Road and in the east by Hong Chong Road and Cheong Wan Road.
Geographically, Tsim Sha Tsui is a cape on the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula pointing towards Victoria Harbour. Several villages had been established in this location before Kowloon was ceded to the British Empire in 1860. Tsim Sha Tsui in Chinese means pointed sandy mouth. It was also known as Heung Po Tau (香埗é ), i.e. a port for exporting incense tree.
Tsim Sha Tsui is a major tourist hub in metropolitan Hong Kong, with many shops and restaurants that cater to tourists. Many of the museums in the territory are located in the area.

Ladies Street @ Mong Kok (Kowloon)
looks similiar to Temple street...
The Tung Choi Street is also known as Ladies Street which is an open air bazaar. It is situated in the central area of Mong Kok, one of the busiest places of stream of people in Hong Kong. In the Ladies Street, cheap commodities and imitations made in Hong Kong are mainly sold, i.e. women's costumes, cosmetics and handbags etc. When night falls, the bazaar becomes more bustling with multicoloured goods hanging fully on the both sides of the street. If you find something to your liking, you may bargain with the shop keepers, enjoying a different kind of pleasure. It is the delightful place of collecting cheaper goods.
