Escalator woes?

So I spent a week hiking up and down those insane escalators in Mid-Levels. My thighs are still screaming. Seriously, it's like a vertical city. The views are breathtaking, don't get me wrong, but… more

Much gentler on the legs. Plus, you get a different perspective from the road. Or, embrace the pain and consider it a really intense workout. Next time, pack some compression socks – might help!

It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
