Castle Peak Road - Name

Name

The road was named after Castle Peak, a peak in the western New Territories. The area to the east of the peak was hence named Castle Peak. Later at the dawn of the development of new town, the area was renamed to its old name, Tuen Mun.

The road was originally known in Chinese as Tsing Shan To (青山道) for its entire length. The Chinese name of the section of the road in the New Territories was later changed to Tsing Shan Kung Lo (青山公路), lit. Castle Peak public road (or Castle Peak Highway). In everyday conversation, however, the term 青山道 survives for the stretches within Tsuen Wan and Yuen Long.
