Ferry Street, Hong Kong
Throughfare in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferry Street (Chinese: 渡船街) is a throughfare running north–south through Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, and Jordan.[1] It is a major road housing the West Kowloon Corridor above it, making it one of the busiest roads in Kowloon.[2] Before the start of land reclamation in the 1990s, this road marked the coast of West Kowloon, and most piers were built on this road, hence the name.
