Victoria Road, Hong Kong

Victoria Road is a main road near the west shore of Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong connecting Kennedy Town and Wah Fu and an alternative connection of Pok Fu Lam Road.

The road opened in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, celebrating the 60th year of her reign.

A stone was laid by Governor Robinson and the road was named Victoria Jubilee Road (域多利慶典道).
