Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks. I've seen pictures of those crazy long escalators – apparently the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world? Wild. My question is,… more

It's a mix, definitely. More residential than touristy, but the tourists are there, especially during peak hours. The views are amazing, no doubt. You'll see everything from tiny, old apartment buildings to sleek modern condos. There are some great little cafes and restaurants tucked away – you'll find some that are clearly catering to tourists, but plenty that feel authentically local. Think more "charmingly bustling" than "soulless tourist hellhole," but be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. It's not overpriced in the sense of being ridiculously expensive, more like "Hong Kong prices," which are high but not necessarily outrageous if you're aware of it going in. You'll have a good time, just manage your expectations – it's a lively part of the city, not some hidden Shangri-La.

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!
