Li Yuen Street East : ウィキペディア英語版 | Li Yuen Street East
Li Yuen Street East (利源東街) is a lane situated in Central on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. Its north-eastern end connects to Des Voeux Road Central and its southwestern tip joins Queen's Road Central. It is the first street which is named after a Chinese member of the society in colonial Hong Kong. Dubbed as the “ Central’s Women Street”, Li Yuen Street East is now a popular tourist spot with numerous stalls selling a wide variety of daily goods and souvenirs on the two sides of the street. ==Origin of the name== The name of Li Yuen Street East originates from a wealthy Chinese merchant in Hong Kong named Kim Li Yuen. Kim was a rich businessman from Taishan, Guangdong Province, China who engaged in foreign trade. In 1894, he bought a piece of newly reclaimed land in Central and engaged in property development. Houses were built for sale and a street was paved. It was named after Kim’s given name, Li Yuen. As the street points towards the east, it has since then been called Li Yuen Street East.〔()〕〔()〕〔()〕〔()〕〔()〕
