Central is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays. Central is Hong Kong's financial and business heart; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links the streets up the hill, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo come alive at night, and the Central piers serve the Outlying Islands.

famous staircase that appeared in countless hong kong movies and dramas. brought me back to my childhood memory lane.

Built between 1875 and 1889 , In the earliest days of the colony, street lighting came in the form of oil lamps hanging in the doorways of houses. Convenient for homeowners and cheap for the government, but not great for nocturnal navigation. So in the 1850s the government erected public oil lamps between Central and Wan Chai, and in 1864 the Hong Kong and China Gas Company—better known as Towngas—introduced gas lighting to the territory. The gasworks on Whitty Street in Shek Tong Tsui was the first of its kind in Asia, making the city also the first in Asia to be lit by gas. Kowloon, naturally, had to wait another 28 years. When first introduced, the lamps had to be manually lit and extinguished every day. These days the process is automatic, and the Duddell Street lamps (still served by Towngas) flick on and off automatically at 6pm and 6am, respectively.

These granite steps and last four remaining gas powered street lamps represent rare historic gem, serving as a reminder of Bygone era and first lamps in East Asia and keeping the old-school Hong Kong charm. Named after George Duddel, declared as a monument since 1979.

These gas-lit lamps are a heritage-listed 'Declared Monument'. Happy to announce that the lamps have been fully restored to working order as of 27 December 2019. I managed to catch the gas company fixing the lamps during the day, so I returned at night to see the full effect of the beautiful radiant lamps. For those who complained that they are just lamps - you knew before you visited that they were lamps, so what the f*** did you expect? Maybe you need to get off your mobile phone and learn to appreciate and respect art, cultural heritage, and the historical value of such things.

i was already out walking around when i saw signs for this monument. its okay to take pictures so if you are in lan kwai fong and have time to see it then its not bad. otherwise i dont think its worth making a trip JUST for this!
