Carnarvon Road, Hong Kong

Carnarvon Road (Chinese: 加拿分道) is a street in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The street is named after Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon, Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1866 to 1867 and from 1874 to 1978.

[1] The town and county in Wales to which the title of Earl of Carnarvon refers are historically spelled Caernarfon, having been Anglicised to Carnarvon or Caernarvon.

[2] The area east of Nathan Road, comprising Cameron Road, Granville Road and Carnarvon Road has been described as having "teeming shops" and likely the main reason that Hong Kong acquired the "shopping paradise" tag, a phrase first put into print in an ironic manner by author Han Suyin,[3] in her 1952 novel A Many-Splendoured Thing.
