Peking Road (English pronunciation: /ˌpiːˈkɪŋ/) is a road between Nathan Road and Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The road is mainly hotels and shopping area on the street level. The road was initially named Chater Road, after Paul Chater, who developed the southwest point of Tsim Sha Tsui through The Wharf. To avoid confusion with Chater Road on the Hong Kong Island, the road was renamed as Peking Road, where Peking was the old name of the Chinese city Beijing.
