How it's used
This street is a major thoroughfare in the Western District, famous for its concentration of traditional dried seafood shops. Locals often refer to the area simply as the dried seafood street, or 鹹魚欄, due to the historical trade that defined the neighborhood. When giving directions, it is common to specify the section of the road, as it spans a significant distance from Sheung Wan to Kennedy Town.
