The Avenue of Stars saw its restored Anita Mui statue return to public view in Hong Kong on 22 September 2026. The bronze figure of the late singer was unveiled after restoration work that began on 3 September, giving visitors access to a renewed part of the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade.
Fans attended the unveiling ceremony, took photographs and laid flowers, China Daily reported on 22 September 2026. The restoration and unveiling provide a current reason to revisit a promenade whose film memorials are among the principal attractions along Victoria Harbour.
Anita Mui statue restoration ends on 22 September
The statue was unveiled after the restoration programme began on 3 September 2026. The operator’s website lists the Avenue of Stars as a waterfront venue managed with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and New World Development, while the report by China Daily on the unveiling records the return of the statue.
The work concerned the Anita Mui statue itself rather than a general reopening of the whole promenade. The restoration date is significant for visitors because the figure is one of the named film and music memorials encountered along the harbourfront route.
The restored statue reconnects with the promenade’s film history
The Avenue of Stars was launched in 2004 and reopened in 2019 after renovation. Hong Kong’s government describes it as a film-themed attraction with celebrity handprints set into wooden handrails, biographies and selected film clips accessible through QR codes.
The Anita Mui statue sits within a wider collection of film-related features that includes statues, water elements and views across Victoria Harbour. The government profile of the promenade also records augmented-reality interactions connected with selected stars. The restored statue therefore adds a newly renewed memorial to a setting designed around Hong Kong’s screen culture.
