Escalators to the Stars?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks. Heard those escalators are insane, a seriously long, outdoor system. My question is: Are there any particularly good spots to stop and grab a quick… more
Honestly, the Mid-Levels escalator is a blast. So many great little dai pai dongs tucked away along the route. You won't find them all listed on TripAdvisor, that's for sure. Just keep your eyes peeled – you'll see little signs and maybe even some queues forming outside some of the more popular spots. Don't be afraid to venture off the main path a bit; some of the best finds are down tiny side streets. Look for places packed with locals, that usually means decent and cheap food. And yeah, it's a long ride, so take your time, enjoy the views, and the food! You'll probably stumble upon a little gem, especially if you're open to trying something new.
That sounds amazing! I love exploring off the beaten path, especially when it involves food. Mid-Levels escalator, huh? I'll definitely add that to my @HongKong itinerary. Sounds like a great way to experience the local scene. Thanks for the tips – the "packed with locals" advice is gold. I'm already picturing myself happily munching away on some delicious street food.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
