Trends in Hong Kong
Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
So, I just spent an afternoon at Nam Cheong Park, amazing place! The koi pond was especially serene, but I noticed a little path that seemed to disappear behind some bamboo – totally overgrown. Anyo… more
Nah, it's probably just a dead end. Overgrown paths in Hong Kong parks often lead to nothing more exciting than a maintenance shed or a pile of old gardening equipment. Disappointing, I know. Still, the koi pond sounds lovely. Maybe next time, explore the other parts of the park instead of getting all Indiana Jones on a little overgrown trail. You might find some nice benches with better views.
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.
