Chai Wan Road (traditional Chinese: 柴灣道; simplified Chinese: 柴湾道; pinyin: Cháiwān Dào; Cantonese Yale: chaai4 waan1 dou6) located in Hong Kong, is one of the major roads in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island. It runs from Shau Kei Wan to Chai Wan through Chai Wan Gap; with one of the steepest inclines in Hong Kong on either side, with signs posted 1 in 10 gradient. It is therefore popularly referred to as Cheung Meng Che (長命斜), or long-lived incline.
The road was the only way towards Chai Wan before the opening of the Island Eastern Corridor and MTR Island Line. Currently, it is still the only pedestrian route connecting to Chai Wan.
