Great George Street, Hong Kong
Great George Street (Chinese: 記利佐治街) is a street in the busiest shopping area of Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It was in the area formerly known as East Point. Starting west at the great junction with East Point Road, Hennessy Road, Yee Wo Street, and also further junction with Jardine's Bazaar and Jardine's Crescent, the street runs east to the junction with Gloucester Road, leading from Exit E of MTR Causeway Bay Station to Victoria Park, crossing Paterson Street in the middle, forming a busy shopping street crowding with people in weekends and holidays, especially when events are held in Victoria Park. To alleviate the crowded situation, the street became pedestrian-orientated, either by converting to part-time pedestrian street or exercising traffic calming measure.
Major buildings in the area include Sogo Causeway Bay, a Japanese-style department store, Island Beverley, a shopping centre, Hong Kong Mansion, a residential/commercial building with a shopping centre, Great George Building, once hosting Daimaru department store and now a shopping mall Fashion Walk, Pearl City Mansion, with a cinema MCL JP and supermarkets Wellcome and Don Don Donki, Parklane Hotel, with an IKEA store, Hang Lung Centre, a shopping centre, and Windsor House, a large multi-storey shopping mall with Grand Windsor Cinema.
