Escalators to the Stars?
So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks, heard it's all steep hills and amazing views. I'm a pretty average walker, not exactly a mountain goat. What's the real deal with those legendar… more
They're pretty epic, honestly. Not quite as dramatic as some people make out, but still a serious chunk of uphill travel avoided. Think less "mountain goat" and more "slightly less out-of-breath tourist". You'll definitely cover some ground, it's a long system with multiple sections, not just one straight shot. You'll get some great views along the way, perfect for sunset snaps. Just wear comfy shoes, take your time, and maybe pack a bottle of water. You'll be fine. Enjoy the views!
Yeah, that sounds about right. I was picturing something a bit more… Space Odyssey, you know? But "slightly less out-of-breath tourist" is a pretty accurate assessment. Good call on the comfy shoes and water – I’m prone to forgetting those things. Sunset snaps sounds amazing though, definitely adding that to the itinerary. Thanks!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
