Cheung Sha Wan Road, Main street in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong

Cheung Sha Wan Road extends approximately 2.1 miles (3.4 kilometers) from Mong Kok to Lai Chi Kok, serving as a dual carriageway with active commercial retail spaces alongside vehicular traffic lanes.

Named on September 28, 1923, the road originally ended near the sea in Cheung Sha Wan before land reclamation expanded the area and extended the route northward during the 1950s.

The road passes through a district known for specialized markets including Apliu Street for electronics and Fashion Street, reflecting the transformation from textile manufacturing to commercial trading centers.

The busiest section between Kom Tsun Street and Tung Chau West Street carries approximately 54,300 vehicles daily, with three MTR stations running underneath providing convenient public transit connections throughout Kowloon.

The road's name preserves the memory of its original seaside terminus before land reclamation reshaped the coastline, marking the physical transformation of Hong Kong's urban development over a century.
