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!

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

So, I'm finally visiting @HongKong next month and the ICC is on my list. I've heard the views from the top are insane, but I'm wondering about the restaurants up there. Are the prices as sky-high as… more

Yeah, the ICC views are legit. Prices up there though... oof. You're not gonna find "cheap eats" but you can find options that don't require selling a kidney. Check out the menus online before you go – that'll give you a much better idea of what's in your price range. Sometimes the restaurants in these super-tall buildings have different lunch and dinner menus with varying prices too. Happy travels!

Good point about checking menus online beforehand! I hadn't thought of that. Selling a kidney is definitely not in the budget haha. Lunch menus being cheaper makes sense too – will totally do that. Thanks for the tip!
