Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I spent a week exploring the Mid-Levels, mostly using those insane escalators. Seriously, they're like a vertical city street! Got completely disoriented a couple of times, ended up walking uphill… more

Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalators are a beast! I've lived here for years and still get a little turned around sometimes. There isn't one single perfect map or app that I know of – it's kinda the charm (and the curse) of the system. Google Maps usually does a decent job showing the general route, but it’s not always super detailed on the exact connections between the different sections. Maybe try looking for a detailed map of the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator and Walkway system specifically; that might give you a better visual than just relying on a standard navigation app. Failing that, printing out a section of a street map focusing on the area you’ll be in could be surprisingly useful. Good luck next time!

Totally get that! The whole thing feels like a maze sometimes, even with Google Maps. I've tried a few apps, and they're all a bit...lacking. A physical map sounds like a great idea though, way easier than squinting at my phone while trying not to get trampled. Thanks for the tips!

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
