Shau Kei Wan Road

Shau Kei Wan Road, road in Eastern District, Hong Kong

Shau Kei Wan Road is a main street in the Eastern District of Hong Kong that runs through a busy neighborhood. The road is lined with small shops, local markets, and food stalls serving traditional dishes, used daily by residents and visitors for errands and meals.

The road follows Hong Kong Island's former north coast from Causeway Bay to Shau Kei Wan. In the 1880s it was widened and named Shau Kei Wan Road after Swire developed Quarry Bay as an industrial area. On 21 June 1935, when King's Road opened, the section from Aldrich Bay to Sai Wan Ho was split into Shau Kei Wan Main Street East, Shau Kei Wan West Street and Sai Wan Ho Street; the latter two were merged and renamed Shau Kei Wan Road by gazette on 26 July 1940.

The road's name comes from Shau Kei Wan, and it was formerly called Shaukiwan Road in English. Until 1935 it was the main coastal route from Causeway Bay to Shau Kei Wan; that year the western section was renamed King's Road for George V's silver jubilee, while the remainder became Electric Road and Tung Lo Wan Road. The road still carries Hong Kong Tramways tracks.

The road is easy to reach by public transport, with many bus and minibus lines passing through the area. Visitors can find shops and food stands scattered throughout, making it convenient to spend several hours exploring.

Before the 1935 opening of King's Road, this road was the only route along the north coast from Causeway Bay to Shau Kei Wan, passing North Point, Tsat Tsz Mui and Quarry Bay. It was then known as Shaukiwan Road, and the tram tracks it carries today follow that old coastal alignment.
