The past years have disappeared, but when you walk on the stone-paved streets, you can still find some memories of the past, and the nostalgic atmosphere of Hong Kong hits you. The busiest time for the stone-paved streets is on Halloween, when all kinds of funny tools are sold here. Most foreigners bring their children to buy them, and at night they dress up as ghosts and go around to scare people.

Originally, I just wanted to go to the old district police Shu, but I came here unintentionally. I felt that this place was very sensible and could return to the streets of Hong Kong in the 1930s and 1940s. Later, I checked what other scenic spots were nearby, only to find that it was a scenic spot that I had just visited. Sometimes when traveling in a city, you don't have to arrange too deliberately to find scenic spots. You may inadvertently find beautiful places while strolling around.

This is where the old stone-paved street in Hong Kong was located, and the former Central Market was also here. Now there are mostly small stalls, and it is also a holy place for taking photos. The reason why the stone-paved street is made into an uneven staircase is to divert rainwater. I remember that in the movie October Besieged City, there was a scene shot on a similar stone-paved street. Now many wedding photos will also choose this location. This place not only represents the past of Hong Kong, but the prosperous Central street scene not far away also symbolizes the rapid development of Hong Kong now. Walking here and looking at Central, you will have a new understanding of Hong Kong.

Pottinger Street is located in Central, connecting Hollywood Road on the hill and Connaught Road Central at the foot of the hill. One of the steep straight roads is paved with stones and designed to be concave and convex, so it is called "Stone Slab Street". The Hong Kong government named this street Pottinger Street in 1858 to commemorate the first Governor of Hong Kong, Pottinger.

Pottinger Street connects Hollywood Road on the mountain and Connaught Road Central at the foot of the mountain. The section from Queen's Road Central to Hollywood Road is quite steep, so the road surface is paved with stones and designed to be concave and convex. This is convenient for pedestrians to get on and off, and for rainwater to flow down along both sides. Therefore, people are used to calling it "Stone Slab Street". Many Hong Kong movies were filmed here.

Pottinger Street is named after the first Governor of Hong Kong. The street runs along Connaught Road West, Queen's Road West and all the way to the Peak. The most familiar section of the street is the Cobblestone Street. As the street is paved with stones, the road surface is a bit rugged, and it makes people feel unstable when walking up and down.
