| Description |
中文：*1950年代中，新13/31跑道填海工程正進行得如火如荼，宋王臺旁、海拔114米的聖山已完全削平，成為日後跑道、草坪及香港飛行總會機庫的用地。由圖左伸延至中央的是太子道東，到達中央的九龍城迴旋處便一分為四條路，分別通往馬頭涌道、亞皆老街、太子道及界限街，格局與今天相同。[1]
English: *The land reclamation programme, as part of the Runway 13/31 extension project, was in full swing in the mid-1950s. By that time Sacred Hill was completely levelled and the flat land would later encompass the runway, the lawn and the hangar of Hong Kong Aviation Club. Prince Edward Road East sketched from the left to the centre of the photo; the route split into four at the Kowloon City Roundabout, with exits to Ma Tau Chung Road, Argyle Street, Prince Edward Road and Boundary Street. The road layout remains the same today.[2]
