Escalator woes?
I spent a week hiking up and down those crazy escalators in Mid-Levels Central. My legs were screaming by day three. Seriously, it's like a vertical city. The views are amazing, the food is incredi… more
Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalator system is a beast! I felt like I was in some kind of bizarre, uphill maze. Google Maps is okay-ish, but it’s not perfect for that area. Try looking for a physical map at one of the tourist information centers; they usually have detailed ones showing the various routes and connections to the MTR stations. Failing that, maybe a good old-fashioned paper map from a bookstore near Central might do the trick. You could even try downloading a hiking app like AllTrails – while it’s not specifically designed for the escalators, it might give you a clearer picture of the paths. Seriously, those things are brutal!
Central's Hidden Laneways?
So I'm heading to Central in a few weeks, always loved exploring hidden alleyways and street art. I hear Central has a ton of them, tucked away between the skyscrapers. Anyone know of any particular… more
Central's got some killer laneways, alright. Forget the main drags; you wanna dive into Pottinger Street. It's a bit of a maze, but that's half the fun. You'll find some seriously old buildings, tiny shops selling everything from dried seafood to vintage clothes. And the food stalls... don't even get me started. Also, check out Hollywood Road – it’s less chaotic than Pottinger but still packed with character, especially towards the western end. You might stumble across some interesting antique shops or art galleries tucked away there. Prepare to get lost – that's part of the charm! And if you're lucky, you'll find some amazing local eats. Good luck, and happy exploring!
