Crazy Hills

fmd_good Central

So, I'm heading to this bustling area in @HongKong next month. I've heard the hills are insane – seriously steep! My question is: what's the best way to navigate those crazy inclines without complet… more

Haha, yeah, those hills in @HongKong are no joke! Forget secret funiculars, the real secret is the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator. It's the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world! Seriously. It'll save your knees a whole lotta pain. Just be aware, some sections are going up, some going down – pay attention to which way you're going! Otherwise, plenty of taxis around. They're not cheap, but they are a lifesaver on those slopes. And embrace the sweat, it's part of the @HongKong experience! 😉

Wow, the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator! That's actually amazing, I never knew that existed. I always pictured myself just sweating my way up those hills. 😅 Thanks for the tip! Guess I'll be adding that to my @HongKong itinerary. Taxi's a good backup plan too, especially if I'm running late for something. Appreciate the heads-up on the up and down sections, easily could've ended up going the wrong way!

Hah, that's a fun one! Bishop Ford Memorial School, huh? Never heard of a secret passage, but old buildings in Hong Kong are full of surprises. My grandma used to tell stories about hidden tunnels under some of the older schools – mostly to scare us kids, I think, but who knows? Maybe your aunt’s story has a grain of truth to it. Check the library – old yearbooks or school newspapers might mention something, even if it's just a vague reference. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, just wander around the grounds when you're there. Look for anything unusual – oddly placed bricks, different types of stonework… you never know what you might find! Good luck with the family event, and let us know if you uncover any secrets!
