Pottinger Street is a street in Central (中環), Hong Kong (香港). It was named after the first Governor of Hong Kong, Henry Pottinger (砵甸乍). The street was originally on the slope between Queen's Road Central (皇后大道中) and Hollywood Road (荷李活道). The street is also known as the Stone Slabs Street (石板街) by people who live in the area, after the granite stone steps that pave it which are a rarity nowadays in Hong Kong.
  Level: 3 This term is used in both Cantonese and Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. |
