Eastern Street, Hong Kong

Eastern Street is an early street of Hong Kong, located in the Sai Ying Pun area of Hong Kong Island.

Eastern Street North (東邊街北) is an extension of the street leading to the seafront following progressive harbour reclamations.

[clarification needed] It descends in the shortest straight line from the mid-levels to the harbour, which explains its slope of 1:6.

The steep incline has been cited as a factor in some serious traffic accidents.

The extension Eastern Street North (東邊街北), from Connaught Road West, is a continuation of Eastern Street to the Victoria Harbour, Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park and Western Park Indoor Games Hall.
