Why is Wuhu Street in Hong Kong called Wuhu Street?

Wuhu Street Road is named in memory of Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China. Wuhu Street exists because Wuhu and other places were turned into trading ports in the early days of Hong Kong's cession, so you can see Wuhu Street, Yichang Street, Wenzhou Street, Beihai Street and Ningbo Street in Hong Kong.

As a group of Huizhou merchants who are familiar with Westernization actively trade with foreign businessmen, it has promoted the development of Wuhu Customs and expanded the openness of Wuhu, which is why the map published by Britain after the Sino-British Yantai Treaty has the place name of Wuhu, and Hong Kong has Wuhu Street, which has improved the visibility and reputation of Wuhu to a certain extent.
