The Great Ascent

Walking around Hong Kong can be a challenge with the steep inclines throughout. Some of the steepest are found on Hong Kong Island. To ease the strain, there are many outdoor escalators in numerous locations for your transport pleasure.

A very long series of connected escalators can be found in the Central/Mid-Levels area that is also home to many nice trendy upscale restaurants, bars, and shops.

My Hong Kong map claims it is the world's longest escalator.
