Location

Hankow Road runs south-north between Salisbury Road and Haiphong Road. It is parallel to Ashley Road (west) and Lock Road (east), as well as Nathan Road (further east).

Name

Hankow Road was initially named Garden Road. To avoid confusion with Garden Road on Hong Kong Island, it was renamed to Hankow, a former city in China, which is now part of Wuhan. Before 1904, the area south of Austin Road was strictly for westerner residents as a garden city. This is probably where its former name came from.
