Lung Cheung Road (Chinese: 龍翔道, Pinyin: Lóngxiáng Dào) is part of Route 7 in Hong Kong, linking Kwun Tong Road at Ngau Chi Wan and Ching Cheung Road near Tai Wo Ping. It is a dual 3-lane carriageway for its entire length.
Kwun Tong (connected by Kwun Tong Road) in Eastern Kowloon was the main manufacturing centre of Hong Kong during the 1960s. To provide a more efficient link to the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals and other industrial districts in the west, two roads were built along the hills to the north of developed Kowloon. The easterly one is Lung Cheung Road.
There are 8 major junctions along this road: Nam Cheong Street, Tai Wo Ping Interchange, Lion Rock Tunnel, Chuk Yuen Road, Ma Chai Hang, Po Kong Village Interchange, Hammer Hill Road and Ngau Chi Wan.
Famous quotes containing the words lung and/or road:
“Dylan used to sound like a lung cancer victim singing Woody Guthrie. Now he sounds like a Rolling Stone singing Immanuel Kant.”
—Also quoted in Robert Shelton, No Direction Home, ch. 2, “Prophet Without Honor” (1986)
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
