How it's used
Beyond its status as a major thoroughfare in Wan Chai, the name is iconic in local culture due to a famous protest song by Lo Ta-yu. The song uses the road as a metaphor for the changing political landscape of the city during the transition period. Locals often refer to it simply as 皇后大道 or even just the road name when giving directions in the district.
