Austin Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Austin Road (Chinese: 柯士甸道) is a road in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It starts at Canton Road in the west, crosses Nathan Road at roughly its halfway point, and ends at Chatham Road South in the east, dividing Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei.
The Hong Kong Scout Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station and the north entrance to Kowloon Park are located along the section of the road between Canton Road and Nathan Road, while the Kowloon Bowling Green Club, the south entrance to the Gun Club Hill Barracks and St. Mary's Canossian College are found along the section between Nathan Road and Chatham Road.
It was named after John Cardiner Austin, Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong from 1868 to 1879.
[edit] Austin Road West
Austin Road West (柯士甸道西) is a road extended from the west of Austin Road from Canton Road over the West Kowloon reclamation. Opened in 1998, the section between Lin Cheung Road and Canton Road was finished several years later.
