When you travel to a place, you must always try to soak into the historical relic of the place that makes it so authentic & unique and worth visiting. If you want to capture the famous streets of Hong Kong, you must visit Pottinger Street! Pottinger Street in Central, Hong Kong is a first-class historical building. The street connects Hollywood Road on the hill with Connaught Road underneath the hill. Because the section from Queen’s Road Central to Hollywood Road is relatively difficult to access, rocks are used to cover the road, so people started calling Pottinger Street as “Stone Street” eventually.

In the old days, shops in Pottinger Street mainly traded in ready-made garments, groceries, and stationery, which could meet the daily needs of the neighbourhood at that time. Nowadays, most of the shops there changed to bars and restaurants, making it an attraction for foreigners & tourists.

When you visit Pottinger Street, we recommend you to also visit Hollywood Road as well. Central Police Department and Victoria Prison are located at there! Both buildings are rich in Hong Kong colonial colors and capture classic Hong Kong.
