Bonham Road (Chinese: 般咸道) is a main road in Mid-Levels West, Hong Kong, running in a mainly east-west direction. The road connects Pok Fu Lam Road in the west, near the University of Hong Kong, and Caine Road in the east, at the junction with Hospital Road and Seymour Road. It is named after Sir George Bonham, the third Governor of Hong Kong.[1] It was renamed Nishi-Taisho Dori (西大正通) during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.
