Escalators to Heaven?
So I finally hiked up the Mid-Levels escalators in Central – what a workout! Seriously, those things are epic. The views were amazing, especially around sunset. I grabbed some street food halfway u… more
Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalators are a beast! I totally get the workout thing. Those abandoned shops... it's a mixed bag. Some are just empty shells, victims of rent hikes and changing demographics. Others have more interesting histories – rumored to be old triad hangouts, or maybe just places with bad feng shui that people avoid. It's a bit of an urban exploration rabbit hole, honestly. You could probably spend hours just wandering and imagining what went on in those places. There's definitely a cool, slightly unsettling vibe to them, though. Definitely worth exploring if you're into that sort of thing!
Wow, that sounds intense! Abandoned shops and triad rumors... I'm definitely intrigued. Hours of wandering sounds like a perfect afternoon, even if it's a little creepy. Is it safe to explore on your own though? I’m thinking of going to @HongKong next month and this sounds right up my alley.
Bishop Ford's Secret?

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
