Conduit Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conduit Road (干德道, formerly 干讀道) is a road in the Mid-Levels on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It is thus named after the aqueaducts underneath which carries water from the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir to the Central area. It is the highest point the Central-Mid-Levels escalator reaches. It is a residential area, interchanging with Glenealy at the east end, and with Kotewall Road, Po Shan Road, and Hatton Road at the west end. Number 41A seems to have had a wide history; not only did it feature as the original location of The Foreign Correspondents' Club (see [1]) but it was also the Hospital in the 1955 Film "Love is a Many-Spleandored Thing" (see [2]) In contrast, Number 2 has proven history and city-wide recognition: it is renowned for housing influential Hong Kong socialites.
