Visit Hong Kong: Central Mid-Level Escalators

The Central Mid-Level Escalators are the world's largest outdoor covered escalator system in the world.  It runs for nearly 1/2 a mile!  

From 6am - 10am, the escalator goes down, primarily for the commuters.


From 1030am to midnight, the escalator goes up.  

We decided to take the escalators up to the top.  

Along the way we saw numerous attractions, restaurants, and shops that you could stop at, but we simply just kept going until the escalators ended.

There are adjacent steps for when you need to go in the opposite direction of the escalators, or simply for those who prefer to take the stairs.  

There are several stops along the way in which you can check out the views from landings between escalators.  


We did not want to walk all the way back down once we got to the top, so we ended up taking a mini bus back to a train station to get back to our hotel. 





The escalators provide more convenient transport options for those who live along the path that the escalator traverses.  

We saw many residents with their carts full of groceries, visitors finding spots to eat, and the occasional influencer blocking pedestrians as they took photos.

The Central Mid-Level Escalators have become a tourist attraction over recent years, but visitors should be respectful, as they are in the middle of a neighborhood where people live and work.
