Sai Yee Street

Sai Yee Street (Chinese: 洗衣街; lit.

Where Sai Yee Street is located today was originally a small stream that served as the main irrigation source for watercress fields in what was then Mong Kok Village (芒角村).

[1] In the 1920s, the farmlands were leveled to make way for residential buildings.

In the 1930s, the government truncated the streams derived from Boundary Street and turned it into an underground sewer.

The brook ceased to exist but the name Sai Yee Street remains.
