Stories of Streets in Hong Kong’s Central District

Hong Kong's streets are criss-crossed like a spider's web. Even if you often move through them, how much do you really know about them? These street names are complex and each has its own origin. If you study them carefully, you will find that their naming involves many stories about Hong Kong's history and local legends. The author of this book is a senior Hong Kong special topic author. He has selected more than ten representative streets in Central District of Hong Kong Island and used rich data to describe the origin of their names in detail, such as "Ernai Lane", "Red Hair Jiao Street", "Long Life Slope", etc. He also narrates the relevant historical facts and legends in plain language, making it highly readable. At the same time, he also introduces many interesting local stories, such as the original mode of Hong Kong's legal system, the origin of "Taiping Gentlemen", the early appearance of the telephone communication industry and the stock market, the preparation process of the first inter-school sports event in Hong Kong, and the appearance of "Public Light Bus", etc. It is very interesting to read.
