Stairs to somewhere?

There are quite a lot of old buildings in Hong Kong. Many of them are located in older districts like Sham Shui Po.

In these buildings, lifts are usually not available. This set of stairs is an interesting contrast to Alice's earlier picture of stairs to nowhere. The staircase is extremely dark and smelly. The question, then, is...does this set of stairs leading to somewhere?

Alice can imagine all kinds of monsters lurking around the corners, the truth is, it just leads to someone's home. Ordinary homes in the older part of Hong Kong.

The stairs seem to be a forgotten part of the city, the building is too old to be considered for redevelopment. The area is forgotten on the economic map.
