High Street is a one-way street in
Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong, available only to
minibuses and private vehicles. It connects
Bonham Road in the east and
Pok Fu Lam Road in the west. It runs from east to west from
Western Street to Pok Fu Lam Road, and from west to east from Western Street to Bonham Road. It was originally named Fourth Street, but because the number
four is commonly avoided in Chinese culture, the government changed the name to High Street.
Other large apartment buildings include Hang Sing Mansion, Lai Ying Court, Wealth Building, Aspen Court, Cheong King Building, High House, Ko Chun Court, Ko Nga Court, Jade Court, and No 1 High Street.
In addition to Western Street, High Street also crosses Centre Street, and Eastern Street. Between Centre and Eastern Streets, there are two laneways for pedestrians, Leung I Fong down to Third Street, and West End Path up to Bonham Road.
Many small businesses line the central parts of High Street, and the Immanuel Social Service Centre.
