Clock Tower

The Clock Tower is located on the southern shore of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway. As part of the station, the clock tower was completed in 1915 as part of the complex and the whole terminus was opened on March 28, 1916.

Built with red bricks and granite in the Edwardian Classical Revival style, the Clock Tower is 44 metres high and surmounted by a 7-metre lightning rod. The upper part of the tower is an octagonal domed turret built of red brickwork. The main terminus building was demolished in 1978; only the clock tower was left, and it has continued to stand as a landmark in Hong Kong.The tower has been listed as a declared monument in Hong Kong since 1990.
