Pottinger Street, Stone slab footpath in Central District, Hong Kong.
The uneven granite steps of Pottinger Street extend from Queen's Road Central to Hollywood Road, creating a distinctive pedestrian passage through Central District.
Constructed in the 1850s, the street received its name from Henry Pottinger, who served as the first Governor of Hong Kong from 1843 to 1844.
The street functions as a marketplace where vendors display costumes, traditional clothing, and various accessories along the stone steps throughout the day.
Pottinger Street intersects with Stanley Street and Wellington Street, providing direct access to multiple shopping areas and local establishments in Central Hong Kong.
The stone slabs were specifically designed with an uneven pattern to help residents navigate the steep slope while allowing rainwater drainage on both sides.
