context_page_description: Lee Tung Street, known as the Wedding Card Street by locals, was a street in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The street was famed in Hong Kong and abroad as a centre for publishing and for the manufacturing of wedding cards and other similar items.
  All interests of this street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong since 1 November 2005. Lee Tung Street was demolished in December 2007 as part of an Urban Renewal Authority project. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.
  The site has recently been redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. As with all other URA projects, no original tenants have been resettled on site.
context_section_description: In June 2013, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) began accepting applications for new commercial tenants on the street, and formally announced the new name "Avenue Walk" (囍歡里). The Chinese name was a pun on the phrase "I Like You". This pun resulted in widespread derision. Finally, Sino Land, Hopewell Holdings and URA announced the name changed to "Lee Tung Avenue" (利東街) in October 2015, using the street's old Chinese name.
  On 28 November 2015, the place was reopened as an outdoor shopping boulevard with one storey of basement mall. And the MTR Wanchai station exit D was opened in December 2017.
