Hiram's Highway

Hiram's Highway (Chinese: 西貢公路; Sidney Lau: sai1 gung3 gung1 lo6) is a road in Hong Kong connecting the town of Sai Kung to the Clear Water Bay Road at Ta Ku Ling.

The road's Chinese name literally means "Sai Kung Highway".

It earned its English name from the officer in charge of the Royal Marines who upgraded a Japanese track in the immediate post Second World War years.

[2] It was considered a reward to the people of Sai Kung for their resistance during the occupation.

[4] A new straightened road, the New Hiram's Highway, near Nam Wai was opened in 2002 to provide an alternative route, bypassing a steep, twisty section of the original road.
