The most popular among tourists is Tsim Sha Tsui the Elephant`s Trunk on the southern tip of Kowloon.
The Clock Tower was once a part of the Kowloon Canton Railway Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui, the Clock Tower is all that remains of the grand railway buildings on the water front. The railway terminal was completed in 1915, but while the clock tower was included in the building, it was not actually showing any time until 1921.
