Excerpt from the Event Guide for the HongKong Winterfest: As one of Hong Kong's must-see Christmas attractions, Harbour City's lighting and decorations bring visitors endless surprises and joy. This year, Harbour City partners with Hong Kong disneyland and transforms the Ocean Terminal Forecourt into a "Happily Ever After" Christmas Avenue. Visitors can celebrate with dozens of Disney friends including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Queen Elsa and Princess Anna!
The clock tower used to be part of the train terminal for the Kowloon-Canton Railroad. It is now a Declared Monument. The Star Ferry carries passengers between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and has been in service for over 100 years. The curved modern building next to the clock tower is the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The world famous Peninsular Hotel is in the background.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Clock Tower is a landmark in Hong Kong. It 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. Officially named Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower (前九廣鐵路鐘樓), it is usually referred to as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower (尖沙咀鐘樓) for its location.
Built out of red bricks and granite, the Clock Tower peaks at 44 metres, and is topped by a 7-metre lightning rod. The top of the tower can be reached by a wooden staircase located within. The interior of Clock Tower had previously been open for the visit but is currently closed for maintenance. The clock tower is located near Victoria Harbour at the foot of Salisbury Road. Another landmark, the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier, is located nearby.
The tower has been listed as a declared monument in Hong Kong since 1990.

Soaring over Victoria Harbour, Rosewood Hong Kong is a new centre of gravity on the Kowloon waterfront; the crown jewel of the Victoria Dockside arts and design district. On passing the gate and traversing the cobblestoned drive, the urban din falls away, revealing lush topiary and a serene forecourt that commands the harbour. A warm welcome heralds a stay of unparalleled comfort and distinctive hospitality.

From Wikipedia
Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour situated between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon in Hong Kong. The harbour's deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading centre.

Excerpt from the plaques:
The almighty Old Master Q is regarded as "Chinese Superman" by readers. Being humourous, imaginative, indignant to injustice, righteous, adventurous, and unbounded, Old Master Q is as good as bad. He upholds traditional Chinese values but struggles amidst Chinese and Western cultures. Old Master Q has no lack of friends. Apart from Big Dump, Mr. Chun, Old Chiu, his girlfriend Ms. Chan, he has the acquaintance of many female friends, pets, monsters, and even aliens.
Miss 13 Dots is the only daughter of a local millionaire. While being lively, independent, avant-garde, and fashionable, she also cares about the people with her charitable mind and a strong sense of justice. She likes to conjure up unusual ideas and act chivalry with her friends.
Regarding the Walk of Comic Stars:
The landmark, featuring 24 characters dating back to the 1960s, aims to promote comic culture. The fibreglass figures placed along the 100 metre long avenue include the satirical Old Master Q who first appeared in 1962, Wang Xiao Hu, the lead character in the kung fu comic Tiger and Dragon Heroes, and McMug, a cartoon pig in a comic book dedicated to covering social issues and contemporary culture.
The figures, built at a cost of HK$1.5 million to HK$2 million, are up to three metres high. The Hong Kong Comics and Animation Federation and the Hong Kong Productivity Council organised the exhibition, with government money, and will last three years.

Excerpt from www.peninsula.com/en/hong-kong/hotel-fine-dining/the-lobb...:
With its graceful colonnades and soaring, double-height ceiling, The Lobby has long been one of Hong Kong’s most sophisticated meeting spots. It has also been the setting for one of the city’s most beloved traditions: The Peninsula’s sumptuous Afternoon Tea service. Featuring an array of artfully created sweet and savoury dishes and accompanied by mellow strains of live jazz music, this ritual has enchanted both guests for many decades.
Captured in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, this photo showcases the striking contrast between modern architecture and natural beauty. The towering skyscraper and the uniquely designed K11 Musea shopping mall stand out against a backdrop of a clear blue sky, with vibrant yellow flowers adding a touch of nature to the urban landscape.

Can't think of a better title. I have absolutely no idea why they had to pose like this for a female adult.
I was standing behind their photographer, holding my camera above her head.
