Everything about Canton Road totally explained
Canton Road is a
road in
Hong Kong, linking the former west reclamation shore in
Tsim Sha Tsui,
Yau Ma Tei and
Mong Kok on the
Kowloon Peninsula. The road starts from the junction with
Salisbury Road and ends at the junction with
Lai Chi Kok Road.
Sections
The road was elongated from the section in Tsim Sha Tsui. In course of urban development, sections of road were used for other constructions, making the sections disjoint.
Name
The road was originally named as MacDonnell Road. To avoid confusion with
MacDonnell Road on the
Hong Kong Island, its name changed to Canton Road. The roads in the area were mainly named after cities of
China and
Vietnam. The translator of Canton Road misintrepreted Canton as Guangdong (廣東) instead of the city of Canton (廣州). Canton road contains many shops and is usually very lively from morning all the way to night. Places include the Harbour City, Marco Polo Prince hotel, Marco Polo Gateway, clothes shops, many restaurants etc...
West Rail
It was proposed that a station
Canton Road of West Rail extension,
Kowloon Southern Link, could be built beneath Tsim Sha Tsui section of the road, outside
Harbour City. The plan was put off after unsuccessful negotiation between
KCRC and
The Wharf on financial arrangement. But, another station
West Kowloon at the junction of Canton Road and
Wui Cheung Road in
Kwun Chung is under-construction.
