Which district of Hong Kong does Tsim Sha Tsui belong to?

Tsim Sha Tsui is a part of Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon. It is located at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula, bounded by Austin Road to Kangzhuang Road in the north, and faces Central and Wan Chai of Hong Kong Island across Victoria Harbour.

Geographically, Tsim Sha Tsui is a promontory at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula, adjacent to Hung Hom Bay. Before moving the mountain to fill the sea, a narrow and sharp beach was formed at its southern end because the nearby sea water was blocked by Guanyong Mountain, which was very obvious in topography. Tsim Sha Tsui's original coastline was along Salisbury Road and Chatham Road. There used to be two parallel endpoints: Kowloon Corner and Blackhead Corner. There is a small bay between the two ends. After many reclamation projects, today's Tsim Sha Tsui has increased a lot of land area, but it is still a highly developed area and has always been the heart of Hong Kong.

Tsim Sha Tsui is bounded to the west by Chatham Road South and East Railway Station and Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and to the north by Hung Hom Station, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hung Hom.
