The clock tower located in the Tsim Sha Tsui district of Hong Kong is the remnant of the Kowloon railway station erected in 1915. The edifice of granite and red bricks is forty-four meters high, and is additionally crowned with a characteristic lightning protection mast. Although the old station was demolished, the clock tower – now towering over an elegant square and surrounded by futuristic buildings – is one of Hong Kong's visiting cards and a popular landmark.
