Welcome back to #SPD4459 The footprints in Central and Western District Blog!
Today Piggie will bring you to the long long ladder street in Sheung Wan!

                                      

The Ladder Street (樓梯街) is a street which is consisting entirely with stairs in Sheung Wan. The stairs are made by granite (花崗石), it has already built for hundred years!

樓梯街原本由花崗石鋪成，歷經百多年歷史，現時大部分已鋪上混凝土，亦更換了新型鐵欄，但不少歷史痕跡亦能清晰可看，例如舊式護土牆、樹牆及街道旁的護欄等。

Hong Kong Government has listed it as declared monuments(一級歷史建築) which means the street is legally declared to be "protected". Ladder street total lengths with 350 meters, it starts from the Queen's road, go through the Cat Street, Hollywood Road, Square Street, Bridges Street to Caine Road.

樓梯街由皇后大道中起，沿山勢而上，經過摩羅街、荷李活道、四方街、必列者士街及裕林臺，直至堅道止，全長350米。不少電影、電視劇集曾在此取景。

Let me show you the different side of ladder street!

There is only two streets are listed in the declared monuments in Hong Kong, and both of the streets are placed in Central and Western District. One is this Ladder street and another one is Slate Street (石板街) in Central. To figure it more out, you may check out our past posts!
