Salisbury Road, Major arterial road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.
Salisbury Road stretches approximately 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) along the waterfront, connecting the Star Ferry Pier to key landmarks including the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong Museum of Art, and Hong Kong Space Museum while facilitating significant vehicular and pedestrian traffic through Tsim Sha Tsui.
The road was extended westward to the shoreline in 1904 to connect train and ferry terminals, and it hosted the Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus until 1974, when the station was relocated to Hung Hom and the original Clock Tower structure remained as a preserved landmark.
Named after Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, the road reflects Hong Kong's colonial heritage, and its Chinese name was refined in the 1970s to more accurately represent the English pronunciation, demonstrating the city's linguistic and historical connections to Britain.
The road is well connected by public transport with nearby East Tsim Sha Tsui and Tsim Sha Tsui stations providing easy access, and its multiple intersections with Canton Road, Nathan Road, and Kowloon Park Drive make navigation straightforward for both residents and visitors exploring the district.
Salisbury Road provides direct access to the Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade, a popular public space offering unobstructed views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline, and it hosts numerous events and leisure activities that draw both tourists and local residents year-round.
