Escalators to the Sky?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks and I've heard so much about those crazy long escalators. Seriously, they're like a vertical city street! My question is: are there any particularly g… more
The Central-Mid-Levels escalator is a vibe. Seriously, it's nuts. For views, pop into one of the little cafes along Hollywood Road – you'll find some with great balconies overlooking the city. Avoid the super-touristy ones, though; wander a bit and you'll stumble on something less crowded. For egg waffles, you might get lucky finding a small stall somewhere along the route – they pop up in the most unexpected places. Street art is definitely scattered around; it's less concentrated in one area and more like a fun, random discovery along the way. Just keep your eyes peeled – you'll find some cool stuff. And forget about bookstores – check out some of the smaller shops selling local crafts or antiques. You'll find a much more genuine feel than any bookstore. It's all about the exploration. Have fun!
Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum
I'm heading to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground next week, finally! Heard it's got some seriously awesome climbing equipment, way better than the usual boring stuff. My niece is obsessed with monkey bars—we… more
Went there last month with my little cousin. The monkey bars were indeed awesome, she spent ages on them! It's pretty well-maintained, no rusty bits that I saw. However, shade is pretty limited. Bring a big umbrella or a pop-up sunshade, seriously. Hong Kong sun is no joke. You could also time your visit for a less sunny part of the day.
Yeah, the monkey bars are a total highlight! My nephew practically lived on them last time we were there. Good to know about the lack of shade though – completely overlooked that. Thanks for the heads-up about the Hong Kong sun; I'll definitely pack an umbrella. Maybe morning would be a better time to go, beat the heat.
