Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Mystery
So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by that crazy-busy street, and I saw this tiny, almost hidden doorway tucked between two massive buildings. It looked like it led to...somewhere.… more
Sounds wild! Union Square is a maze, honestly. I've lived in Hong Kong for years and I've never seen that specific doorway, but there are tons of little hidden alleyways and entrances that lead to all sorts of things – tiny shops, residential buildings, even abandoned spaces. It's part of the charm, I guess, but also a little creepy sometimes. Maybe it's just a service entrance or something completely mundane. Or maybe it is a portal to another dimension… you never know in this city! Maybe try looking up old maps of the area? You might find something interesting.
Escalators to Heaven?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, and I've heard about those crazy long escalators. Are they really as epic as everyone says, or is it just a tourist trap? I'm picturing a Blade Runner-… more
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.
