The Eslite bookstore in Tsim Sha Tsui (Star House branch), which has been accompanying Hong Kong readers and cultural enthusiasts for ten years, recently announced that it will relocate from its current premises in the second quarter of 2026. After news spread on social media, Eslite officially confirmed the relocation plan in a press release, stating that it will continue operations at a new location within the same district of Tsim Sha Tsui. This means the beloved "seaside bookstore" with its iconic panoramic view of Victoria Harbour will soon cease operations at Star House, leaving many residents and visitors feeling nostalgic.
Since opening at Star House on Oct. 1, 2015, the branch has been renowned for its prime location, where readers can not only browse books and cultural creative products but also enjoy breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the Star Ferry Pier through its expansive glass windows. Guided by the concept of "Timeless Convergence, Classic Revival," the store blends reading, culture, and lifestyle, featuring a café corner overlooking the harbour. Over the years, it has become a cultural landmark frequented by local arts enthusiasts, residents, and tourists alike.
Regarding questions about the reasons for the relocation, the exact date, the new location, and whether the new store will retain harbour views, Eslite has not yet provided detailed information, stating only that further details will be gradually announced later. To express gratitude for a decade of support, the store will launch the relocation promotion from Jan. 2 to Feb. 28, 2026. During this period, customers who purchase two or more items at the Tsim Sha Tsui store will receive a 12% discount, serving as a farewell prelude to this memorable space.
