Bruce Lee Statue in Hong Kong

If you’re a fan of martial arts cinema or just love Hong Kong’s vibrant pop culture history, the Bruce Lee Statue is one of the city’s most photographed landmarks. This larger-than-life bronze sculpture captures the legendary actor in his signature fighting pose from Enter the Dragon – fist raised, legs poised, intense gaze forward. Unveiled in 2005, it stands as a permanent tribute to Bruce Lee, Hong Kong’s global superstar who put the city on the martial arts map in the 1970s.

The statue is perfectly positioned along the waterfront promenade of Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), Kowloon side, directly facing Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline. It’s at the far end of the famous Avenue of Stars – Hong Kong’s answer to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Avenue of Stars – Hong Kong’s Hollywood Walk

The Avenue of Stars stretches along the TST foreshore, with over 100 handprints, signatures, and plaques honoring Hong Kong cinema legends: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, Donnie Yen, Wong Kar-wai, and many more. As you stroll east from the main entrance (near the Clock Tower), you’ll pass plaques, statues, and info panels about classic films.At the very end, the Bruce Lee Statue steals the show. It’s right in front of a Starbucks (yes, really – the cafe’s outdoor seating spills onto the promenade), making it easy to spot the crowds. Chinese tourists especially love queuing here to recreate Bruce’s pose for photos – expect a lively, fun atmosphere with people laughing and striking kung fu stances.

How to Get There

The location is super accessible in Tsim Sha Tsui:

• MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui Station (Exit E) – 5–10 minute walk along the harbour promenade.
