Ladder streets

Ladder streets are narrow streets in Hong Kong comprising steps. Most are found between Central and Sheung Wan and Mid-Levels on Hong Kong Island, from Queen's Road Central, through Hollywood Road and a few other cross streets, to Caine Road at the Mid-Levels. Other ladder streets exist outside of the immediate Mid-Levels area, such as Sands Street in Kennedy Town. Note that there is indeed a street named Ladder Street, composed entirely of stone steps, in Sheung Wan. The Duddell Street steps were declared a monument by the Antiquities and Monuments Office. rdf:langString

Note that there is indeed a street named Ladder Street, composed entirely of stone steps, in Sheung Wan. While some ladder streets are made only of traditional steps, some at a moderate incline have portions that could be traversed with a rickshaw or cart. These portions had raised stones perpendicular to the street at regular intervals acting like a ratchet so that carts and rickshaws could be easily stopped and parked. This kind of paving can be found on Pottinger Street. The Duddell Street steps were declared a monument by the Antiquities and Monuments Office.
