Victoria Harbour just got a major upgrade! On December 29, 2025, Hong Kong’s East Coast Boardwalk in North Point opened its final 1km section, completing the 13km stretch from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. This milestone turns a long-held vision into reality, adding fresh vibes to the city’s iconic waterfront 🏖️.
Designed as a shared space for walkers, joggers and cyclists, the new section features a glass observatory deck with panoramic water views—perfect for your next Insta shot 📸. There’s a pet-friendly zone near Tin Chiu Street, where you can stroll with your furry pals 🐾, plus versatile open areas ready for art pop-ups, exhibitions and community events 🎨.
You’ll also find a cozy plaza by Quarry Bay, wider footpaths for easy cruising, and a movable bascule bridge (a drawbridge that lifts for boats) to keep marine traffic smooth ⛴️. Whether you’re on a morning jog or an evening hangout, this stretch is all about making life by the sea more fun and flexible.
First planned in 2009, the East Coast Boardwalk showcases Hong Kong’s ongoing push for a people-centered waterfront that blends urban living with nature. For locals, it means more room to relax and rewind; for visitors, it’s a fresh way to experience Hong Kong’s harbour—one step at a time!
