Queen's Road Central (Chinese: 皇后大道中), Queen's Road East (皇后大道東) and Queen's Road West (皇后大道西) are three roads on the northern shore of the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The Queen's Road is the first road in Hong Kong, spanning over Victoria City, from Shek Tong Tsui to Wan Chai.
The roads were named after Queen Victoria of the British Empire. In the Chinese name, the word queen was mistakenly translated as 皇后 (Pronunciation in Cantonese: wòhng hauh / wong4 hau6 ; Pronunciation in Mandarin: huáng hòu ), literally meaning king's consort.
Queen's Road East
Queen's Road East (皇后大道東) between Happy Valley and Wan Chai. The section within the area known in the present days as Admiralty, between the junction with Hennessy Road (originally known as Praya East) and the junction with Des Vœux Road Central was rerouted and renamed as Queensway in 1967.
Queens Road East runs along the old northern shoreline of Hong Kong Island. The land to the north of the road is all reclaimed land.
