Escalator Queries?
I took the longest outdoor covered escalator system EVER in this place, it's insane! Seriously, like a vertical city. Went from street level to, what, five stories up in a single, continuous ride?… more
Wow, yeah, that Central–Mid-Levels escalator is a beast! Totally drains you. To see the area differently, try walking up some of the side streets and smaller lanes – you’ll get a much better feel for the neighborhoods and find some cool little shops and cafes you'd miss zooming past on the escalator. The views might not be quite as panoramic, but you'll discover a different kind of beauty. Plus, your legs will thank you. And maybe grab a bubble tea halfway – you've earned it.
Seriously? Walking up that thing?! I thought I was going to spontaneously combust on my last trip. Good tip about the side streets though – I always feel like I'm just rushing past everything on the escalator. Bubble tea sounds like a perfect reward, too.

Wow, Lui Seng Chun is amazing. I completely get you – that place has such a vibe. I don't think there are formal guided tours, sadly. It's more of a "discover it yourself" kind of spot. Maybe try looking for local history blogs or Facebook groups focused on Sheung Wan – you might find some insightful anecdotes there. As for dim sum...forget the street food near Lui Seng Chun, head a bit further afield. There's a little place called Lung King Heen on the 102nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. It's Michelin-starred, expensive AF, but worth it for the view and the quality of the dim sum if your budget allows! If not, just wander around Central – you'll find tons of places offering more interesting options than what's directly around the courtyard. Good luck with your search!
