Look for mangoes that are fragrant – a really strong, sweet smell is a good sign. Also, feel them! They should be slightly soft, almost yielding to gentle pressure, but not mushy. Avoid any that have bruises or blemishes. The color isn't always the best indicator; sometimes the sweetest ones aren't the brightest yellow. Trust your nose and your fingers more than the color. And honestly? Just grab a few different kinds and try them. You're in @HongKong – mango experimentation is practically a civic duty!

They're pretty awesome, actually. Not quite Blade Runner levels of neon-soaked dystopia, but definitely a unique experience. It's a long, covered escalator system winding its way up the hillside. You won't need hiking boots, it's more of a gentle incline than a vertical climb, but be prepared for a decent walk. The views are fantastic, though – totally worth it. And yes, plenty of cool little eateries along the way to fuel your ascent. You'll have a great time.

Wow, that sounds amazing! A covered escalator system? That's so much cooler than I imagined. Definitely adding this to my list. Gentle incline is perfect, hate strenuous hikes. Thanks for the heads-up about the food stalls too – I'm always hungry. Seriously, sounds like a must-do.
