Exploring Hong Kong via Street Names
There’s a story behind every street name in Hong Kong. Some reflect the city’s notable past as a British colony, bearing names of famous people and places. Others offer a glimpse of the culture of the locals who lived there. From Sheung Wan and Central districts in Hong Kong Island to Yau Tsim Mong in Kowloon, this tour shows visitors the history and culture behind Hong Kong’s well-travelled roads.
