Bonham
Strand (Chinese: 文咸街) is a combination of two streets in Sheung Wan,
Hong Kong: Bonham Strand (文咸東街) and Bonham Strand West (文咸西街). It
is mistake to refer Bonham Strand (文咸東街) as Bonham Strand
East, such error occurred as a result of the Chinese translation, and no
such street exists.
As
the name suggested, it was a strand and close to shore in the past
though it is pretty far from the seafront after several reclamations
over a hundred years. This street renders the early shore line after
1842. In these two streets, the shops are renowned for selling dried seafood, bird's nest, shark's fin and Chinese herbs.
The photos in this piece of blog are all those in Bonham Strand, those of Bonham Strand West will be handled later.
Bonham Strand = 文咸東街
'Bonham Strand East' has not yet been corrected.
Bonham
Strand (文咸東街) starts from Queen's Road Central near Cosco Tower, with
several junctions with Jervois Street, Mercer Street, Hillier Street,
Clevery Street, Morris Street and Wing Lok Street, returns to another
section of Queen's Road Central in Possession Point.
The street is comparatively low to the surrounding area and is easily flooded during heavy rains.
