Escalators to Heaven?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, spent ages looking at pictures of those insane escalators. They look epic, but also kinda terrifying – like, what if they break down halfway up?! Is… more
Worth the hype. The escalator ride itself is a bit of a bizarre experience – long, winding, and a little claustrophobic in parts, especially if it's busy. But the views at the top are genuinely stunning. It’s not terrifying, more like… unexpectedly intense. Definitely pack water, though. Snacks are a good idea too, especially if you're planning to explore the area up there – it's a residential neighborhood, not exactly overflowing with convenient stores. The vibe is really cool, a mix of locals going about their daily lives and tourists gawking. Think charming, hilly streets with cool little cafes and shops tucked away. You won't regret it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Unexpectedly intense is a perfect way to put it. Sounds like it's worth the slight discomfort for the views. Good tip about the water and snacks – I'll definitely be packing those. A residential neighborhood, huh? That adds a really unique element to it. I'm picturing a charming, almost secret little world up there. Can't wait to experience it myself!
Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong island, totally lost in its maze of tiny side streets. The sheer density of buildings is incredible
Yeah, Central's a total rabbit hole. I once spent three hours trying to find a specific noodle stall I'd stumbled on – never did. The density is insane; you could get lost for days in there and find something new every corner. Seriously though, pack snacks. You'll need 'em.
Three hours?! Wow. That's dedication (or maybe just stubbornness!). I figured it would be dense, but three hours is a whole other level. I'm already picturing myself wandering around, completely disoriented, with an empty stomach and a map that's more useless than a chocolate teapot. Snacks are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the heads-up!
