Cox's Road, Hong Kong
Cox's Road (traditional Chinese: 覺士道; simplified Chinese: 觉士道; pinyin: Juéshì Dào; Cantonese Yale: gok3 si6 dou6) is a road in Jordan, Hong Kong between Austin Road and Jordan Road.
It is bordered on its east side for most of its length by the Kowloon Cricket Club.
Naming[edit]
The road was named after its lessor, James Cox as was the nearby street, Cox's Path. Cox dealt in smuggled opium and had started out selling mechanical novelties in Canton (now Guangzhou) but soon found the drug trade to be more profitable. He was obliged to leave China and eventually went into real estate dealing in Hong Kong. James owned the leases on a number of the lots which ran along Cox's Road and Cox's Path.
