Ching Cheung Road (Chinese: 呈祥道; Cantonese Yale: ching4 cheung4 dou6), part of the Route 7, is a dual carriageway in New Kowloon, Hong Kong linking Lung Cheung Road and Tai Po Road near Tai Wo Ping and Kwai Chung Road of Route 5 near Lai Chi Kok, varying between 2+2 lanes and 3+4 lanes for its length.[1][2]
Kwun Tong (connected by Lung Cheung Road and Kwun Tong Road) in eastern New Kowloon was the main manufacturing centre of Hong Kong during the 1960s. To provide a more efficient link to the container terminals near Kwai Chung and other industrial areas in western New Kowloon, two roads were built along the hillside in the north of developed New Kowloon. Ching Cheung Road is the western section of the route.
In 1997 it was closed for three weeks because of a major landslip during the passage of Severe Tropical Storm Victor across the territory.[3]
There are three major junctions on this road, namely Kwai Chung Road, Butterfly Valley and Tai Po Road.
