Haiphong Road
Haiphong Road is a road south of Kowloon Park, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The road links Canton Road and Nathan Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transport Department )〕
==History==
It was initially named as Elgin Street but its name changed in 1909 to Haiphong,〔(''The Hong Kong Government Gazette'', March 19, 1909 )〕 a city in Vietnam to avoid confusion with another Elgin Street on the Hong Kong Island. As such, it is one of the few streets in Hong Kong not named for a Chinese or English subject. Along with Nathan Road it was one of the first two streets laid out in Tsim Sha Tsui.〔("Haiphong Road" ), ''South China Morning Post'', 2 January 2000.〕 Indian merchants, mostly Hindus from the province of Sindh, began establishing shops on the street in the 1920s, supplying Indian goods to soldiers stationed in the adjacent Whitfield Barracks.〔Jason Wordie, ''Streets: Exploring Kowloon'' (Hong Kong University Press, 2007), ISBN 978-9622098138, pp. 35-40.
