Avenue of Comic Stars | Hong Kong

Kowloon Park

The painted stairs at Kowloon Park (often called the “Avenue of Comic Stars” staircase) are decorated with colourful, larger‑than‑life depictions of beloved Hong Kong comic characters. They're part of a public art installation meant to celebrate local pop‑culture icons and bring a playful, vibrant welcome off Nathan Road.

From the top view down the steps, you'll see illustrations of characters like Ding Ding the Penguin (created by Kong Kee) and Old Girl (by Stella So), among others — a dynamic blend of nostalgia, humour, and community pride that greets visitors entering the park.

So, next time you're entering Kowloon Park, look up—those bright, cartoonish figures on the stairs are a fun homage to Hong Kong’s local comic art scene!
