Peking Road (Chinese: 北京道; pinyin: Běijīng Dào; Cantonese Yale: bak1 ging1 dou6) is a road between Nathan Road and Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The road is mainly hotels and shopping area on the street level. The road was initially named Chater Road, after Paul Chater, who developed the southwest point of Tsim Sha Tsui through The Wharf. To avoid confusion with Chater Road on the Hong Kong Island, the road was renamed to Peking, a city of China.
