Revision as of 14:01, 27 October 2005 by Instantnood (talk | contribs) (date of rename)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Queen's Road Central (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 roads were named after Queen Victoria of British Empire. In the Chinese name the word queen was mistakenly translated as wong hau (皇后), 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 between the junction with Hennessy Road (originally known as Praya East) and the junction with Des Vœux Road Central was renamed as Queensway in 1967.
Queen's Road Central
Queen's Road Central (皇后大道中) is a road in Central and Sheung Wan. It was the first road to be built, when the crown colony was founded (although the construction of Hollywood Road was finished earlier). It was a major infrastructure of the Queen's Town, later renamed the City of Victoria.
Queen's Road West
Queen's Road West (皇后大道西) is a road from Sheung Wan to Shek Tong Tsui.
