Elgin Street, Hong Kong

The street is divided into two sections: the first begins at the junction with Hollywood Road, and climbs up to the junction of Staunton Street with Peel Street. The second section of Elgin Street starts at the junction with Peel Street (specifically: directly opposite Nos. 65 & 65A). From there it ascends in a southwesterly direction – where it is intersected by the Central–Mid-Levels Escalators on Shelley Street – to its southern tip at Caine Road. The upper section of the street is less steep than the lower one. ==Features==

Originally there were two dai pai dongs operating on the street near Hollywood Road, but one of them was forced to closed in 2005. The lower section of Elgin Street is lined with stallholders, many of whom display their wares on the ground. The upper section is lined with international restaurants; a comedy club was formerly located at No. 34. ==Gallery==
