Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So I'm walking around Mid-Levels, right? Gorgeous views, amazing architecture... but this insane escalator system is a BEAST. I got hopelessly lost trying to find my way back down. Seriously, it f… more

Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalator system is... a thing. It's less a transportation network and more a sprawling, concrete labyrinth designed by a mischievous architect who enjoyed watching tourists suffer. There isn't really a better map, per se. Most maps just show the general route, not the insane number of branching paths and exits. Your best bet is to pay close attention to signage (if you can even find it!), download Google Maps offline before you go, and maybe even use a GPS tracker on your phone just in case. Or, just embrace the chaos and consider it a truly unique Hong Kong experience. It'll make for a great story, at least!

Oh my god, I totally get that. I spent a good hour just trying to get off the thing. I ended up somewhere completely unexpected, like a secret market filled with dried seafood. It was...an experience. Google Maps offline is definitely key; I should have done that. Next time, I'm bringing a compass. Seriously, though, that’s hilarious about the mischievous architect!

So I finally made it to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground for the local football match. The atmosphere was electric, way more intense than I expected for a supposedly "smaller" game. Everyone was so passio… more

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
