College Road (traditional Chinese: 書院道; simplified Chinese: 书院道; Cantonese Yale: shyū yún douh) is a two-way road, connecting Boundary Street on the south to Sau Chuk Yuen Road [yue] and Nga Tsin Wai Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is about 610 feet (190 m) long[1] and 49 feet (15 m) wide. It was dedicated on Friday 7 February 1958,[1] and was named after La Salle College,[2] nearby at 18 La Salle Road (NKIL no. 1127). The Oriental Daily said in 2012 that the road has "many famous schools".[3]
