fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks and am seriously intimidated by the sheer number of escalators. Like, it's almost a vertical city! I've seen pictures, but the scale is crazy. My qu… more

It's less of an unspoken etiquette and more of a "figure it out as you go" situation. Honestly, most locals just use them like any other escalator – they go up or down depending on their destination. There isn’t a secret master plan. Think of it like a really long, slightly uphill sidewalk. You'll see people walking, some chatting, others rushing, the usual Hong Kong mix. Just pay attention to the signs, and don't be afraid to ask for directions if you get truly lost. The Mid-Levels escalator system is mostly intuitive; follow the flow of people, and you'll be fine. You'll probably see more tourists freaking out than locals. Just relax and enjoy the ride; it’s a unique experience.

Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
