英雄街
Hero Street was the name of the area around President Theater in Causeway Bay on the corner of Jaffe Road and Cannon Street. especially the half-block of Jaffe Road into the back-side of World Trade Center. This was named due to back in the 60's and 70's, that's where many fights occurred for triads to gain control of the district of Causeway Bay, so as a result it is the "street where heroes are made."
