Gough Street (Template:Zh) is a street on Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, just north of the Soho area of Central. It is connected to Shing Wong Street to the west and Aberdeen Street to the east.[1] The street is informally referred to as "NoHo", north of Hollywood Road.[2]
The street is named for Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in China.[2]
History
Historically, many local printing presses and old beef-brisket noodle shops were located on Gough Street.[1] Kau Kee Restaurant, is a notable noodle shop that specialises in beef brisket noodles in clear soup (清湯牛腩) located there. In the last several years, a lot of the printing presses moved to other areas and new restaurants and bars began to move into the premises vacated by the printing presses.[1] Now, the street has many international fashion brands and high-end home furnishings.
The street is most well known for hosting 'Yeung Yiu Kee' (楊耀記), a family business of Yeung Hok-ling in 1884, where he gathered with friends and fellow revolutionaries Sun Yat-sen, Chan Siu-bak and Yau Lit, known collectively as the Four Bandits. As Sun Yat-sen became an important figure for his founding of the Republic of China, the street was honored as part of the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail.[3]
