Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Mystery
So I was in Union Square, right near that big statue, and I noticed this tiny, almost hidden alleyway. It looked like something out of a movie – all shadows and old brick. I peeked in, but it was to… more
Probably nothing. Hong Kong's crammed full of tiny, forgotten alleys. Most lead to nothing more exciting than a delivery entrance or a crumbling old building. "Old stories" is probably code for "nothing to see here, move along". Unless you're into urban exploration and have a good flashlight, I wouldn't bother. It's Hong Kong; the real secrets are in the price of a bowl of noodles, anyway.
Escalators to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more
It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
