Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade toward the historic Clock Tower and Victoria Harbour with a passing Star Ferry, or looking across the lotus pond in Nan Lian Garden toward the golden octagonal pavilion with Lion Rock rising in the background, showing palm fronds and stone pavers in the foreground, the architectural landmarks in the middle-ground, and the calm harbor or mountain horizon fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick banyan and pine trees of Kowloon Park and Nan Lian Garden, royal palms along the TST promenade, and the forested slopes of Lion Rock.
