Its junction with Hennessy Road is one of the busiest junctions in Hong Kong. NameYeewo was the Cantonese name of a Qing Dynasty hong established by Wǔ Guóyíng ({{zh|s=五国莹|t=伍國瑩}}) in Canton in 1783, which later became the leader of the cohong of the Thirteen Factories under the stewardship of Howqua, who took over in 1803. The name was later used by trading company Jardine, Matheson & Co., owners of much land in East Point in the early days of Hong Kong. The road was renamed "Kasuga-dori" (春日通) during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.[1] After the surrender and evacuation of the Japanese army, the name was reverted. FeaturesThe street begins west at Hennessy Road and ends east in Causeway Road. It hosts a section of Hong Kong Tramway and its Causeway Bay terminus. During the 2014 Hong Kong protests (aka "Umbrella Revolution"), substantial tracts of the area were occupied by suffragists. See also
