Central-Mid-Levels Escalators in Hong Kong

Simply best way to mid level

This is really a unique experience which I never felt before! Highly recommended

Very convenient escalator for local residents and visitors.

What an experience! You start at street level and go up and up...and up! Amazing. We stopped to have the most amazing food on several occasions. Fabulous loved it!

Nothing much to explore. But helpful for the people in vicinity.

The Hong Kong Mid Levels Escalator is located in the Hong Kong Mid Levels Elite residential area, precisely in Central Hong Kong.Mid levels Escalator is the longest series of escalators in the world.On the right and left of the Mid levels Escalator we will find many unique buildings and interesting culinary attractions.If you visit Hong Kong, dont forget to stop by this place._AichA_

The place I visited 4 or 5 years ago. I recommend wearing sneakers here. The escalator isnt completely connected. There are many places to walk from time to time. I came back bored in the middle, but if I visit Hong Kong again, I want to ride it to the end.There are many cafes and restaurants on the streets on both sides of the escalator, so its fun to look around. :)

The best alternate route to go home during peak hours. Sometimes the escalator is not working and it take times to fix it but its OK is just a good way to exercise your muscles more.

The central Mid Levels Escalator which is quite long,it even leads to IFC.It is a very convenient way to travel around Mid Levels fast and easily.💁

Nice view of Hong Kong along escalator. 💖💖🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍👍🌈🌈

With Covid sometimes closing the bars and restaurants, the escalators is an ok place to have a beer and relax... Actual under the escalators. The escalators is a transportation system. Before 10 am they go down.

Great way to get through Mid-Levels! Just make sure you check which way the escalator is travelling. Usually it goes down in the morning and up in the afternoon.Signs guide you easily to the escalators and you can get off at many streets. It took me 11 minutes to ride the escalators all the way from the top to the bottom.

Its very hard because its under construction, but you can have a different experience

They say its the longest escalator on earth. Sorry thats not true. There are just a lot of short escalators. After two or three rides its already boring.

This was an interesting experience. It’s not just one entire long ongoing escalator rather there are multiple stops in between. This means you can get off and explore or continue going up/down. It’s pretty cool mainly to say you’ve been on the world’s longest escalators and the art work is pretty cool. Otherwise it does get quite busy and a lot of human traffic.

Excellent way to see a great area of this beautiful city as well as sample many international flavors weather it be New York style Pizza or amazing ice cream at Emack and Bolio’sTake a ride all the way up to the Mid-Levels and walk down or grab a cab/mini-bus or full size bus back down to Central.

The longest escalator in the world. Unique experience to visit if yourein Hongkong.

Sections of the escalators were under maintenance when I visited, so I dont think I got the full effect or enjoyment from riding them. I would suggest avoiding them in the summer, and taking periodic breaks to enjoy the scenery surrounding them.

I wanted the full experience but there was construction being done on one of the travelators. Its a great spot to visit, especially if you are in the area! Keep in mind if you are going to the top, you’ll need to take the stairs down!

Right in the middle of Central, great location for drinks, a dinner in the many different venues.

Climbing those hills up and then descending down was quite of a work out for us . We enjoyed the mid levels escalators even though the one in the mid section was not working . Disappointed at first, considering the humidity and the best, we push forward to the top . The location is close to other famous spots like max noodle shop

Labelled as the longest escalator (broken into sections). A few facts/observations1. Starts from Queens Road Central2. Ends at Conduit Rd3. Keep R if standing, go L if walking4. Lots of selfies/self sticks5. (almostAlways breaks down6. No A/C. It’s a sweatbox in summer7. 6am-10am escalator moves downwards8. 10am-12modnihht moves upwards

great walk ! be warned it can be quite far - goes all the way up to the botanical gardens. also be careful walking back down as there are a lot of stairs

Best way to experience Honk Kong. 800 m and 20 escalators running synchronised

One of Hong Kong’s most amazing attractions. Note that the escalator will go down in the morning but go up from 10am onwards. There is only one side of the escalator so if you go up by escalator, you need to walk down later or take either bus or taxi to go down. The whole trip of going up from the ground level to the top could last around 30 minutes. It passes through the Soho area and many attractions including the Muslim mosque and Dr. Sun Yat Sen museum at the top. Don’t miss it.

The escalator can only be go up and you need to walk by yourself to go down. It is connected number of tourist spots such as Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Its convenient to go those places by taking the escalator.

The Central–Mid-Levels escalator and walkway system in Hong Kong is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. The system covers over 800 metres (2,600 ftin distance and traverses an elevation of over 135 metres (443 ftfrom bottom to top. It opened in 1993 to provide an improved link between the Central and Mid-Levels districts on Hong Kong Island.

These escalators/walkway system really is a sight to be had. And are appreciated when they are running in the direction you are traveling! They are also a great landmark if you get yourself turned around in HK, which is easy to do on the various streets and levels in Central.

Its a very unique way the city has to offer to climb the hilly Hong Kong streets to anyone.

Very nice and clean outdoor escalator that brings you from the bottom of the hill to the mid levels so you dont have to hike up! This was very useful as our grandparents lived on Caine Road and our hotel was on Robinson Road. Even for visiting SOHO in generally, this is the escalator to use!

Escalators. In the morning they go down, in the evening they go up. Saves walking, or makes walking faster. Nice. What more can you say about an escalator?

A popular place featured in many TV shows as well as in Hong Kong movies. Local people actually use these elevators for daily commute. In addition, you may wanna know that the direction these elevators run may switch twice a day. In the morning when people commute to work, they go down. After these hours, its changed to upward again.

All of the various "escalators" a one of those "must-do" activities for your visit to HK. Go up the easy way on the escalators, then go down the easy way on the stairs! The entire length is lined with pubs and restaurants that cater heavily to westerners. Then again, thats practically the whole city!

Elevated walkways going south up the slope from Central and HK stations. The escalators are a bonus but the key benefit is the elevated walkway, no need to cross many streets.Lots of shops, restaurants along the walkways.Its a real feature of HK island.Easiest way to find them is to start at IFC1 and walk south at the elevated level.

Apparently the longest escalator on earth. It was good and very convenient. We kept coming off it and shopping or going to pubs along it. Was good and a lot better than walking all way up on foot.

This is so cool! When you get to the top if you dont feel like walking all the way back down, you can get a green minibus on Conduit Rd (#3/3Awhich will bring you back down to Central (just hop on and tap your Octopus card like a normal bus), or walk a couple of streets back down to Robinson Rd where you can get various buses such as #12 to Central & Ferry Piers.

A must whilst in HK to experience what the locals do daily. Theres work on the escalator systems during 2018, which may mean one or two escalators are out during this time. This didnt spoil our ride, just have to use some steps. We went all the way to the top and then took the steps down and took a look around. Theres some great coffee shops along the escalator system, and the fruit & veg market runs parallel.

I love the worlds longest escalator! A very interesting and unique place! And many good restaurants and streets going up and down

after a look around here, I felt I wanna live here.. the ambiance could be felt only at hong kon

Quite a shame! An escalator can be a sort of tourist destination. Even so, this is a pretty good apparatus for pedestrians in a hilly city like Hong Kong.

its mainly used to connect the uphill and down. some walk & explore and some saves energy by using this haha. it has interconnect stairs where u can get down in certain junctions. its historical and worth using it once.

Feels like never ending. Must to experience hong kong. Bit tiresome to walk all the way down. Escalators go up only. Happy that we came before renovation time (March 2018-2020).

Great experience at outdoor escalator. I think more then kilometers long escalator.

One of the tourist spot in Hong Kong. Everyday thousands of people use the escalator and its good spot for the tourist to take pictures. At the end of the escalator in central walls are painted with extraordinary designs depends on the theme. It will make your photos extraordinary!

I hate pigeons. You can see the pigeons at the every corner :( However you can enjoy milkteas and some local snacks along the escalator.

Neat to see and if I had to walk it to work every day Id be thankful. Only goes up after 10am so plan accordingly.

One of the To-Go places in Hong Kong. Just start at the bottom close to central station and go upwards with the escalator. All streets look amazing in Soho and there is so much to see.

Very convenient way to climb up the hills in Central, right through the Soho district

Very interesting, good way to explore HK neighborhood off the main tourist spots.

Amazing set of escalators that you might not even know are even there.. they rise up pretty high and you may want to take a cab back down, as there are not stairs along with all the escalators which are reversed at different times of day..
