Apart from the streets named by the British royal family and officials, which street names in Hong Kong are quite foreign?

There are many street names in Hong Kong. Named after British place names or people's names, some are named after China place names or cities. In addition, some streets are named after auspicious words or phrases. There are also many street names based on the rise of all walks of life and the development of local communities since the opening of Hong Kong.

Laundry street is really washing clothes. There are many street names that vividly express the function of this street, such as Laundry Street in Mong Kok and Xiyangcai Street in Mong Kok. Mong Kok was called "Mangjiao" in ancient times. Because there are many mangs and grasses, the terrain extends into the sea like a horn, so it is called Mangjiao Tsui, and the nearby village is called Mangjiao Village. Today's Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mong Kok is the Sai Yeung Choi field in Mangjiao Village.

Laundry Street used to be a small stream in Shazhou Village. In the 1920s, residential buildings began to replace the farmland in Mong Kok, which enabled grassroots women living by the stream to find a new way to make a living-to get laundry from a nearby house at a low price, and the laundry business became a success, so this stream path was called "Laundry Street". However, this situation only lasted about 10 years. Later, the government cut off the water source of this stream and introduced it into the underground waterway. What used to be a stream was built into a road, and now it has become a "laundry street", and the customary law of that year has been preserved.

Cattle cross fields and roads, but butterflies don't fly in Butterfly Valley. Besides being highly urbanized, Hong Kong has also preserved many natural landscapes, among which the names of outlying islands are very distinctive. There used to be a large area of farmland on Lantau Island, and buffalo was a good helper for farmers at that time, so many road names and place names were related to cattle, such as cattle crossing fields. Today, herds of cattle can still be seen wandering in some parts of Lantau Island.

Compared with cattle crossing the field, Butterfly Valley is not so lucky. Butterfly Valley used to have butterflies, which were golden yellow and located between butterfly valley road, Changhang Road and Andrew Caldecott Road in Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon. During World War II, the Japanese illegally cut down trees in the valley and shipped them back to Japan. The pupa disappeared and there was no place to live. Although the trees are growing again now, the butterfly has never come back.

Located in Tuen Mun District, New Territories, adjacent to Castle Peak Bay, Coffee Bay is now a public beach managed by LCSD. It is also divided into old coffee bay and new coffee bay. I believe there is a cafe here, hence the name.

It has been sixteen years since Hong Kong's return, and its colonial color has faded. Only street name brands still record how much.
