這裡是幾乎每一位遊客到香港都會參觀的街道，這裡是幾乎每一位遊客都會留下倩影的街道，因為這裡是香港歷史最悠久的街道，時至今日，全香港可能只剩下這條仍留有100年前模樣的古老街道。
This is the street that all tourists will visits. This is the street that all tourists will have their selfie. It is the existing oldest street in Hong Kong. It may probably be the only existing street that have over 100 years in Hong Kong.

石板街建於1850年，正確名稱是砵典乍街，以殖民地時代的第一任港督砵甸乍爵士命名。香港於1842年割讓給英國，當時的英國人主要聚居於石板街以上的半山一帶，而華人則聚居於石板街以下，為了方便當時的洋人出入 (其實最主要是讓人力轎伕上山下山得更快)，政府便建造了這條石板街，自此石板街便成為連接華、洋地區的重要街道。
The stone street was built in 1850. The official name is Pottinger Street, named after Henry Pottinger, the first Governor of Hong Kong from 1843-1844. Hong Kong was ceded to UK in 1942. At that moment, The British mainly lived in the Peak and the mid-level above stone street. And the Chinese lived below stone street. For the convenience of the British to go to the two region (and the rickshaws can go up and down the hill faster), the Government built the stone street and stone street between the “bridge” of the Chinese and British regions.

由於石板街依山而建，十分陡直，故工人便用大石以梯級形式鋪砌街道，方便市民上落，同時引導雨水流向兩旁，因為它亦開始被人稱為「石板街」。
As stone street was built along the slope, workers use big stones to pave the street as stair steps making it more use to walk. So the street was later called “Stone Street”.

石板街今時今日是香港的「活化石」，因為其他超過百年歷史的街道都已清拆重建了，只餘下石板街奇特的存在。石板街南面出口是中環 – 香港的商業核心區，石板街北面的出口則是中環的SOHO區，偏偏這兩個繁華摩登的區域之間，有著這一個150年以上歷史的老街道。
Stone street now is a “living fossil” of Hong Kong. It is because stone street is the only street that have over 100 years left in Hong Kong. The south exit of stone street is the core commercial region of Hong Kong. The north exit of stone street is the SoHo, area of clubbing and bars. You can’t imagine the two modern areas are connected by a 150-years-old street.

由於當年石板街位處華洋兩地之間，故成為小販攤檔集中之地，熱鬧非常，經過一百年風霜，現在石板街的攤檔仍有很多當年的舊店老店，吸引不少遊客到訪。
In the past, as Stone Street is between the British and Chinese living areas, there were a lot of hawkers in Stone Street. 100 years pass, there are still a lot of old shops and boutiques, attracting a lot of tourists.

石板街也是華人電影的熱門地點， 電影《龍鳳斗》《無間道》《A計劃》《花樣年華》《十月圍城》《文雀》《色戒》等等，都有著石板街的身影。
Stone Street is also a hotspot of Hong Kong movies including “In the Mood for Love”, “Project A”, “Lust, Caution”, “Bodyguards and Assassions”, etc..

今時今日，石板街已被香港列為第一級歷史建築，沿著磨得斑駁的石板路面、古舊的鐵皮屋、黑漆的鐵欄杆，從一家家古早的老玩具店、面具店、復古服飾店，穿插到現代的餐廳、酒吧，再遙望天空，望向遠處一座座聳立的金融大廈，雖只短短400米的路程，你會感受到一種強烈的對比，但，卻沒有任何衝突違和的感覺，相信，這是每一位遊客感受最深的地方。
Nowadays, Stone Street is already the Grade I historic buildings in Hong Kong. Stepping on the old stones, going through the old shops, from the antique shop, old toys shop, old costume boutique, to modern bars, modern restaurant, and look to the sky, the skyscraper, the commercial center, you will have a strong feeling. This is a very strong feeling of contrast, but, without conflict. I believe that it is the strong feeling of every tourist.

在街道隨處可見老人漫步、攝影師的相機、拍婚紗照的戀人、還有年輕情侶的輕輕細語，各種看似永遠不會走在一起的組合，通通出現在這條小小的街道，也許，這就是香港的獨特特色。
On the street, you may see old men taking walk, photographer taking photos, couples shooting wedding photos, and young ladies whispering. This is a combination that you can’t imagine, but it happens in Stone Street. Maybe, it is the unique characteristic of Hong Kong.
