Yeah, the Central-Mid-Levels escalator system is awesome... until it isn't. The signage is, as you said, a joke. I've lived here for years and still occasionally get turned around down there.

Failing that, just keep an eye out for major streets; once you hit one, it’s usually easy to orient yourself. Don't rely on the on-site signs, though. They're practically useless.

Go early in the morning or late at night. Seriously, the difference is night and day. Rush hour on the Star Ferry is... an experience. Not a pleasant one. If you want the view without the scrum, avoid peak times. Plus, you'll get better photos with less people in them. Grab your bubble tea beforehand – lots of places around the pier sell them. Enjoy the ride!
