Trends in Hong Kong
Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong while wandering lost in the labyrinthine streets of Central. The restored tong lau was breathtaking
Seriously, the lighting inside is incredible. It's like they bottled the magic hour and poured it into those rooms. I spent ages just wandering around, completely captivated. The whole place feels…peaceful, despite being smack-bang in the middle of the chaos. Definitely worth a return trip. Maybe try going at night – I bet the atmosphere's even more special then.
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.
