Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So, I'm planning a trip to this hilly area, and I've heard about the insanely long escalator system. Seriously, it's like a vertical city. My question is: how do locals actually *use* this thing eve… more

It's surprisingly efficient, most of the time. Think of it less like one giant escalator and more like a series of connected walkways, with different sections moving in different directions. Locals know which parts to use depending on their destination, and honestly, the flow is pretty well-organized, even during rush hour. It's not exactly a leisurely stroll, but it's definitely not a free-for-all. You'll see some hustle and bustle, sure, but less Jackie Chan and more...organized chaos. The biggest challenge is probably navigating the sheer volume of people, but if you just keep a steady pace and pay attention to where you're going, you'll be fine. I wouldn't worry about getting swept away unless you actively try to get swept away.

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!
