Rednaxela Terrace
Rednaxela Terrace (; "Liht-nàh-sih-deih Tòih") is a pedestrian-only street in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong. It is long and junctions Shelley Street to the west and Peel Street to the east. Name. 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. Most of the naming errors in Hong Kong are a result of  incorrect transliterations. Another explanation is that the name is linked to abolitionist Robert Alexander Young, who was known to have used the name Rednaxela in his 1829 work "Ethiopian Manifesto". Chinese transliteration followed suit and was adopted by the neighbourhood, and the government never made any further alterations. History. 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. Residential buildings.
