Ferry Street, Hong Kong
Ferry Street (Chinese: 渡船街) is a throughfare running north–south through Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, and Jordan. It is a major road housing the West Kowloon Corridor above it, making it one of the busiest roads in Kowloon. Before the start of land reclamation in the 1990s, this road marked the coast of West Kowloon, and most piers were built on this road, hence the name.
