The street is most well known for hosting 'Yeung Yiu Kee' (楊耀記), a family business of Yeung Hok-ling in 1884, where he gathered with friends and fellow revolutionaries Sun Yat-sen, Chan Siu-bak and Yau Lit, known collectively as the Four Bandits. As Sun Yat-sen became an important figure for his founding of the Republic of China, the street was honored as part of the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail.<ref>Macdonald, Phil. [2006] (2006).
