Hennessy Road (Chinese: 軒尼詩道) is a thoroughfare on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It connects Yee Wo Street on the east in Causeway Bay, at the junction with East Point Road, Jardine's Bazaar and Great George Street in East Point, through Bowrington, to Queensway on its western end in Wan Chai. It is a two-way road with two to three lanes of traffic on each side, which is shared by tram services. The road was built in the 20th century and is 1.86 kilometres (1.16 mi) in length. The road is named after John Pope Hennessy, the Governor of Hong Kong between 1877 and 1882. The portion of the road passing through Causeway Bay was one of the locations occupied during the 2014 Hong Kong protests. The 2009 Hong Kong movie Crossing Hennessy is a love story set around Hennessy Road. The protagonists, Oi Lin (played by Tang Wei) and Loy (Jacky Cheung), live on opposite sides of Hennessy Road.
