Escalators to Heaven?
I've been trekking up and down those insane escalators in Mid-Levels Central for days now, my legs are screaming. Seriously, it's like a vertical city. Saw a street cat chilling on one, totally unbo… more
Ha! You're not the first to be conquered by the Mid-Levels escalators. They're a beast. Locals mostly use a combo of things: minibuses (those little white ones weaving through the streets) are everywhere, and lots of people just live near enough to walk. Some will use taxis, too, of course. There’s no secret tunnel system, unfortunately — though that'd be awesome. Think of it as a daily leg workout with a view! And yeah, those street cats are pros at navigating the whole thing. They've got the best vantage points.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
