How it's used
Boundary Street historically served as the dividing line between the ceded territory of Kowloon and the leased New Territories. While it is a major thoroughfare today, locals often use it as a mental reference point for navigating between the older urban districts and the northern parts of the peninsula. It is rarely referred to by its English name in casual conversation.
