Queensway, Hong Kong
Queensway (Chinese: 金鐘道; Jyutping: gam1 zung1 dou6) is a major road in the Admiralty area of Central, Hong Kong.Queensway was formally separated and given its own name when the extensive military and naval sites that dominated this area were redeveloped around the 1960s.[3] The road is home to a large amount of landmarks, with its northbound lane housing landmarks such as the Cheung Kong Centre; Bank of China Tower; Hong Kong Park (including Flagstaff House and the Museum of Tea Ware); Queensway Government Offices; the High Court; and the Swire-owned Pacific Place, a shopping centre and office tower complex incorporating the Conrad, Island Shangri-La and Marriott hotels, while its southbound lane houses Chater Garden, site of Hong Kong's former main cricket ground; the Lippo Centre; Queensway Plaza – a one-storey shopping mall next to the United Centre office block, also linked to Pacific Place opposite by means of a fully enclosed skywalk; the small Harcourt Garden; and, at the Wan Chai end, the Hong Kong Police Headquarters.Straightening of the road was planned from as early as 1968[4] and finally carried out in 1974 with the official completion taking place on 12 January 1975.The Hong Kong police have removed these barricades, and the road was re-opened to traffic in the afternoon of 14 October 2014.
