How it's used
Locals distinguish between the urban section in Kowloon, known as 青山道, and the long, winding stretches in the New Territories, which are collectively referred to as 青山公路. It is important to note that despite the name, the road does not actually pass through the peak of the mountain known as 青山. Because it is the longest road in Hong Kong, it is often segmented by the specific district it passes through, such as the 荃灣段 or 屯門段.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use 青山公路 to refer to the urban street in Sham Shui Po, but locals will specifically call that section 青山道 to avoid confusion.
