Reclamation Street

Reclamation Street

Reclamation Street (zh-cpcy|c=新填地街|p=Xīntiándì Jiē|cy=san1 tin4 dei6 gaai1) is a street stretching from Yau Ma Tei to Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. As its name suggests, it was built on the reclaimed western shore of Kowloon Peninsula. The street is lined with old residential buildings, as well as a wide variety of businesses at the street level. The wholesale Fruit Market and abandoned Yaumati Theatre is located at the street's junction with Waterloo Road.
