Rednaxela Terrace

Rednaxela Terrace (Chinese: 列拿士地臺; Liht-nàh-sih Deih-tòih) is a pedestrian-only street in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong.

[1] Although there are no official conclusions to the origin of the name, it is believed that the road was part of the property owned by a Mr. Alexander, and Rednaxela is an understandable transposition of the English name Alexander, since the Chinese language was typically written right-to-left at the time.

[1] From December 1891 to June 1892, the Filipino revolutionary and national hero José Rizal lived with his family at Number 2, Rednaxela Terrace, then working as an eye clinician in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong government erected a commemorative plaque in 2004 on the intersection of Rednaxela Terrace and Shelley Street to honour Rizal.

[1][3] Rednaxela Terrace only has a few residential buildings, with Caine Road on its north, Central-Mid-levels Escalator and Jamia Mosque on its east, Rednaxela Terrace is considered a convenient location for local residents and expatriates.
