Escalators to Heaven?
So I finally hiked up the Mid-Levels escalators in Hong Kong, man, what a workout! The views were insane, totally worth the sweat. But seriously, the sheer length of it...I kept expecting it to end… more
Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalators are a beast! No halfway cafe sadly, it's a pretty relentless climb. Lots of little shops and eateries along the way though, scattered throughout the residential areas you pass. You could probably find a spot for a quick drink or snack, but nothing specifically designed as a midpoint rest stop. Next time, maybe break it up into sections – take a break somewhere halfway based on your fitness level, then continue. Planning it out more might be a better approach than a scooter.

Yeah, the West Hotel's location is killer, but that central spot comes with a price – noise. I stayed there last month. It wasn't unbearably loud, but definitely noticeable.

Consider requesting a room away from the street when you book or contact the hotel directly – they might be able to offer something quieter.
