A new waterfront pedestrian walkway is expected to open in 2026, creating a more direct harbourfront route between Tai Kok Tsui and the West Kowloon Cultural District. The project sits next to the New Yau Ma Tei Public Cargo Working Area, aiming to close a long-standing gap along this stretch of Kowloon’s shoreline.
The Harbourfront Commission has previously described the proposed link as about 950 metres long, with most sections designed at roughly 2 to 3 metres wide, while some narrower parts may be around 1.5 to 2 metres wide.
After the Eastern Section of the East Coast Boardwalk opened in late 2025, Hong Kong Island gained a continuous harbourfront route of about 13 kilometres from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. With that milestone in place, the Government is now pushing to close remaining gaps on the Kowloon shoreline through projects like the Tai Kok Tsui–West Kowloon link.
The broader aim is to bring the total promenade length on both sides of Victoria Harbour to 34 kilometres by 2028, with most of the new sections expected to be delivered on the Kowloon side.
