Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I spent a week in this hilly neighborhood, navigating those insane escalators. Seriously, it's like a vertical rollercoaster ride, and I nearly missed my flight because I got hopelessly lost in the l… more

Hong Kong's mid-levels escalators are a beast, I'll give you that. It's less about using the system and more about understanding its logic – which is, frankly, nonexistent. Think of it as a bizarre, urban spelunking adventure. Download Google Maps before you go, and use the street view to familiarize yourself with the routes. Seriously, that’s your best bet. Pre-plan your escape routes, especially if you're pressed for time. As for dim sum, wander off the main tourist drags – the further you stray from the peak, the better your chances of finding somewhere authentic and less pricey.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I was picturing something more… streamlined, I guess. Like, a functional system of moving walkways, not a labyrinthine, uphill battle against gravity and confused tourists. The street view tip is gold though, seriously. I'd have been completely lost otherwise. Thanks for the dim sum advice too; I was worried I'd end up paying a fortune for mediocre har gow.

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
