Hankow Road

Hankow Road (Chinese: 漢口道) is a street in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It runs in the north-south direction from Salisbury Road to Haiphong Road and is 370 metres in length. It was initially named Garden Road but was renamed Hankow Road after the Hubei city of Hankow in 1909, due to the inconvenience caused by a road of the same name in Central.[1][2][3]
