Pottinger Street

Pottinger Street is a street in , Hong Kong.

The street was named after the first Governor of Hong Kong, Henry Pottinger. The street was originally on the slope between Queen's Road Central and Hollywood Road. The street is also better known as the ''Rocky Road'' by the locals, after granite stone steps which is rare nowaday in Hong Kong.

The Central was undergoing several reclamations and thus the street was extends north from Queen's Road Central to Connaught Road Central. Several buildings like Man Yee Building, Wing On House, Chinachem Tower and Hong Kong Chinese Bank Building are on this section.
