Escalator to Heaven?

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near Mid-Levels Central. Heard about the insane escalator system – apparently it's the longest outdoor covered escalator in the world. My question is, h… more

It's definitely used by locals, not just tourists. Think of it less like a single escalator and more like a network of interconnected moving walkways, some going up, some down. People use sections of it to get to work, school, or just to go about their daily lives. Rush hour is... intense. Definitely a lot of people, but it's surprisingly well-managed considering. It's not the fastest way to get around, but it cuts out a serious chunk of uphill walking, especially in that hilly area. The Blade Runner comparison is pretty spot on, though probably a little less neon-drenched than you might expect. You'll see it in action – just be prepared for the crowds.

Hung Hom Hustle?

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
