Central–Mid Levels escalator and walkway system in Hong Kong
The Mid-Levels Escalator is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world, and it is totally unique, this is how thousands of Hongkoners commute every day to work.
The escalator connects Central and Western Districts, with the SoHo and residential districts of the Mid-levels, from Queen's Road to Conduit Road.
In the morning rush hour it runs downhill, then from 10:30 a.m. until midnight it switches direction and runs uphill.
But more than a transportation option, it has transformed in a very unique micro-culture with bars, restaurants, shops and market stalls along the elevated path, businesses that had previously existed only at street level.
So even though this is not a tourist attraction per se, it does give you a very peculiar insight into every day Hong Kong life, taking you from the shimmering glass and steel towers of Central, through the little alleys, stalls and coffe shops popular with the working masses, spread along the route.
The roughly half-mile long escalator (800 meters) is not one single escalator but a series of 20 escalators and several moving walkways. It is covered and is a vast system that interconnects via covered footways to many areas in the city including some of the main skyscrapers in Central. In fact, this is a great way to get around when it's raining.
There are over a dozen entry and exit points and there are even rest areas in between the long walkways!You can hop on and off along the way, signs point out the many points of interest.
Des Voeux Road and Queen's Road: glitz and glam of Central skyscrapers and upscale shopping centers
Stanley, Wellington, Gage Streets: colorful market stalls, tea shops, dai pai dongs, walk along Graham Street which runs parallel to the escalator
Lyndhurst Terrace: restaurants, coffee shops
Hollywood Road: antique shops and galleries, nearby Cat Street for trinkets and curios
Staunton Street: SoHo Bars and Restaurants
Elgin Street: SoHo Bars and Restaurants
Caine Road: for Dr. Sun Yat Sen Museum
Mosque Street: for the Jamia Mosque
Mosque Junction
Robinson Road: High rise apartment buildings
Conduit Road: more high-rises and access the Botanical Gardens, follow the signs, it's about a 15 minute walk

360 video: Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, Hong Kong, China
This complex of escalators and travelators was built in 1993 and it is one of the longest escalator systems in the world. You can take the escalator to the top and then have a pleasant walk through the surrounding neighbourhood while visiting the local shops, cafés and takeaway restaurants. While traveling, you can enjoy wonderful view of adjacent streets.
However, since the escalator is not only a sight but it is also actively used by the locals, it might get crowded, especially during the rush hours.
