Escalators to the Top?
I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks and I’m totally hyped to finally ride those legendary escalators everyone talks about. Seriously, it sounds insane – the longest outdoor covered escal… more
The escalators are awesome, but yeah, it can be a bit of a labyrinth up there. Don't worry too much about getting lost though; just keep an eye on the signs and generally head uphill. The whole thing’s pretty well-marked. One thing: the escalators aren't one continuous thing – there are sections where you have to walk a bit between them. Don't expect a smooth, unbroken ride to the top. As for cool spots, just wandering around is half the fun. You'll stumble upon some great little cafes and shops tucked away in the side streets. The views from the top are fantastic, especially at sunset. Also, if you're feeling adventurous, there are some smaller side streets that branch off – exploring those might lead to some unexpected discoveries. Just keep your phone's map handy, and you'll be fine. You won't fall down a hill into a bowl of noodles; I promise. Unless you're actively trying to, of course.
Hong Kong Hospital Wait Times?

Yeah, Hong Kong hospitals can be hectic. Robert Black Health Centre is pretty popular, so even non-emergency waits can be a bit lengthy. I wouldn't rely on an "average" wait time, honestly. It really depends on the day, time, and what other cases are coming in. Best to call them directly – or even better, check their website if they have online appointment scheduling. Planning ahead is definitely a good idea, especially with a pre-existing condition. Good luck with your trip!
