Po Yan Street
Po Yan Street (Chinese: 普仁街) is a street in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, that allows two-way traffic. It was formerly known as St. Stephen Street (Chinese: 坟墓街), and was renamed in 1869. It starts at Hollywood Road and ends at Hospital Road. Po Yan Street is the birthplace of Tung Wah Hospital and the Po Leung Kuk. The Tung Wah Hospital building was completed in 1870, and the Po Leung Kuk initially used space in the hospital as its office. In addition, a theatre, a shelter for the homeless, and a refugee camp were once built on Po Yan Street. The Hong Kong government also constructed sewer facilities in the area on multiple occasions. Since the 2000s, high-end shops such as furniture stores, antique shops, and art galleries have appeared on Po Yan Street, and some service units of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals are also located in buildings on the street.
