Escalators to the Stars?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

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.

Hung Hom Bay Views?

So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more

Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
