Nathan Road was built before the signing of the Beijing Treaty in 1860. The road was originally named Robinson Road in memory of the Governor of Hong Kong at that time. In 1887, Nathan Road ranged from south to middle and north to Austin Road. In 1904, Sir Nathan, Governor of Hong Kong, vigorously developed the Kowloon Peninsula, expanding Nathan Road into a major avenue and extending it to Waterloo Road. On March 19, 1909, in order to avoid confusion between the road and the street of the same name on Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Government decided to rename the road Nathan Road in commemoration of Sir Nathan, the Governor of Hong Kong who expanded the road. In 1911, British Crown Prince George V was crowned King of England. To commemorate this event, the Hong Kong government named the new road just completed from Waterloo Road to Argyle Street as Coronation Road. In 1926, Coronation Road was extended to Boundary Street, and the Hong Kong Government decided to merge Coronation Road and Nathan Road into Nathan Road. The Kowloon Peninsula was still a sparsely populated area when Nathan Road was initially expanded into a six-lane road and trees were planted on both sides of the road. People at that time called Nathan Road a foolish Nathan (Nathan s Foo). But Sir Nathan's vision has been proved. Before the 1960s, Nathan Road was a tree-lined Avenue on both sides. Later, most of the trees were sawn off because they hindered the double-decker bus, leaving only a small section of Kowloon Park with the big trees planted that year.

    Hong Kong's busiest traffic road is also a place where at most tourists will come to shop! The street pedestrians shuttle constantly, the traffic is busy, so not lively, this is Hong Kong!

    The heart of Mong Kok is worth seeing. It is a very long street, north to Mong Kok and south to Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon Park. There are many shops along the way and shopping is very convenient. There are many restaurants, very good. It is also a representative of the former glory of old Hong Kong.

    The most prominent road in Kowloon Peninsula. The section most visited by tourists should be the Tsim Sha Tsui Section. Interesting Christmas lights are featured around Park Lane shopping street.

    Nathan Road after dark is a whirlwind of excitement! The neon signs illuminate the street, casting a colorful glow over the bustling crowds. The mix of shops, street vendors, and lively atmosphere makes it a vibrant hub of activity. The energy is contagious, and the constant buzz of life along the road creates an unforgettable nighttime experience.

    Busiest Road in Kowloon spanning from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok. Lots of shopping malls and stalls along the road. MTR Tsuen Wan Line is built underneath Nathan Road so it is easy to travel along Nathan Road by MTR or buses.
