How it's used
Locals use this term to refer specifically to the section of Queen's Road that runs through Wan Chai. It is a vital shorthand because the full name Queen's Road is far too broad to be useful for navigation. When giving directions, people often pair it with nearby landmarks like the Hopewell Centre or the old Wan Chai Post Office.
