SPD4459 - Destination 1 - [上環Sheung Wan] 石板街 Stone Slab Street


「 石板街」的正名其實是「砵典乍街」,以香港首任總督 砵典乍 命名。
它是一段連接山上皇后大道中至山下荷李活道的道路。
由於路面陡直,因此政府
決定用石塊舖蓋路面,正是如此而得出「石板街」這個有趣的名稱。
不要小看路面的設計,一塊塊大石板,一凹一凸的路面就是為了減低斜度,方便行人上落,亦方便雨水沿梯邊瀉走,有防滑的作用。
如果有空來的話,不妨細心觀察一下這個獨特的設計!

In fact, the official name of Stone Slab Street is Pottinger Street which was named after the first Governor of HK -Henry Pottinger.
It is on the slope between Queen's Road Central and  Hollywood Road.
Due to its steepness, the Government decided to use stone slabs to pave the road. Therefore, the locals also named it Stone Slab Street.
You may curious about the the unevenly paved road design. In fact, it is aimed to facilitate walking and allow rainwater to flow down along the two sides.
If you come here next time, let take some time to admire this unique design!
一凹一凸的路面設計原來是大有作用的!
It is unbelievable that the unevenly paved road has a meaningful function!


「 石板街」可說是遊客必到的景點之一,不少國外朋友來旅遊時都央著要我帶他們去一趟。
但無可否認這裡有一種懷舊的風味,可以讓遊客或繁忙的香港人停下腳步,感受一下六十年代時被英國統治時的香港。
在這裡,隨意舉起相機,按下快門都可以拍出大師級般的作品!
我想正正是這個原因,所以吸引了不少電影(例如十月圍成、無間道、色戒等等)、MV及電視劇在這裡取景吧!


It is not exaggerated to said that Stone Slab Street was a must go place in HK. 
Many foreigner friends always ask me to bring them there.
It is undoubted that itt is full of old HK characteristic which let you feel the 60s of HK.
No matter which angle you took, you can easily get a masterpiece by simply pressing the shutter button!
Funny, right?
I believe that because of the above reason that makes many famous movie(e.g. "Bodyguards and Assassins", "Infernal Affairs","Lust, Caution", etc), music video and TV drama shootings took place here.
