The Tsim Sha Tsui railway station of the Kowloon Canton Railway was built in 1913. Due to the fact that some of the equipment and installations ordered from the United Kingdom could not be delivered to Hong Kong on time due to the first World War, the internal works of the Tsim Sha Tsui railway station had to be shelved for a time. It was not until March 28, 1916 that Tsim Sha Tsui railway station was officially opened. The clock tower of Tsim Sha Tsui railway station was completed in 1915. Due to improper engineering arrangement, the one ton clock in the clock tower began to be installed in 1920 and began to operate in March 1921. The Kowloon Canton Railway Station was relocated to its current site in 1978, and the old Tsim Sha Tsui railway station was demolished, leaving only part of the clock tower. The clock tower was listed as a statutory monument in Hong Kong in 1990. Opening hours of the Former Kowloon Canton Railway clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui: outside the clock tower: 24 hours a year; inside the clock tower: 10 am to 6 pm every Sunday
