Yee Wo Street

Yee Wo Street (Chinese: 怡和街; Cantonese Yale: yi4 wo2 gaai1) is a street, actually a thoroughfare nowaday, on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong, situated in the area of East Point in the early colonial history and the area of Causeway Bay after World War II.

Hong Kong Tramways pass through it, numerous bus routes run and stop on it.

Yeewo was the Cantonese name of a Qing dynasty hong established by Wǔ Guóyíng (simplified Chinese: 五国莹; traditional Chinese: 伍國瑩) in Canton in 1783, which later became the leader of the cohong of the Thirteen Factories under the stewardship of Howqua, who took over in 1803.

The name was later used by trading company Jardine, Matheson & Co., owners of much land in East Point in the early days of Hong Kong.

During the 2014 Hong Kong protests (aka "Umbrella Revolution"), substantial tracts of the area were occupied by suffragists.
