- Angie HwangJune 2, 2013it's not one long escalator! instead it is made up of 20+ escalator and moving sidewalks :) sightsee at the top top and then you can walk or take the mini bus back down!
- Simple DiscoveriesMay 23, 2016It's fun to explore the city from a different vantage point. Note that the escalator system is only one-way so you'll have to walk the opposite direction if you're going back to where you started.
- It goes from Central to Conduit Rd, Mid-level, via the Soho area. Downhill only in the morning before 10am and uphill only for the rest of the day. It DOES NOT go both way.
- JauntedJanuary 17, 2011For first-time riders: yes, take it all the way up, but beware that it goes downward in the morning rush hour. When it goes up later in the day, the way to get back down is steps underneath
- Save $2 by tapping your octopus card on the MTR Interchange Saver Kiosk like this lady does
- Paul MOGGDecember 22, 2011Longest escalator in the world you either go up or down but not both at the same time of the day ... Check it out it's a Smooth Operator! ( check the Hk band called OPERATOR VERY COOL )
- Eva SchindlingMarch 8, 2014The world's longest outdoor escalator, covering 800m in distance and 135m in height. Prominently featured in Wong Kar-Wei's Chungking Express
- Magdalena MrázkováMay 23, 2017It's a bit shabbier than I expected and also it requires equal amount of walking as the time spent on the elevator, but it's a signature organized chaos as the rest of HK city
- Christine 🌏October 8, 2013Touch your Octopus transportation card to the below card reader to get some discounts, HK$1~2. Don't miss it ! Have fun.
- Erika BeattyMarch 9, 2014The longest outside escalator in the world. And the best way to get to the mid level restaurants and bars of Soho.
- That saver kiosk... One person may be applying the discount to all of his or her colleagues if he's voted out to do it. It can take up to ten minutes. Jesus Christ...
- Taz (✿╹◡╹)August 17, 2018Must take them to fully experience the city! Thanks HKG for installing and maintaining this
- Jeff LeeOctober 8, 2011Tap your Octopus card on the MTR Fare Saver machine midway through the escalator to enjoy $2 discount on your next MTR ride at Central / Hong Kong / Sheung Wan stations.
- Pritya WidiartaFebruary 26, 2012Enjoy the ride and don't hesitate to stop to check cute shops or cafe along the way. Residential area at the end.
- Don't forget to swipe your Octopus card at the MTR machine located on the flat overpass section at Hollywood Rd - if you're using the MTR that day it will give you a discount.
- This is the primary method of commute for many who live in the Mid Levels. Between 6am and 10am every day it travels downhill. Between 10am and midnight it goes uphill
- Martin JonassonSeptember 24, 2017The longest outdoor escalator system in the world. A fun experience!
- Robin HwangAugust 6, 2015The escalators go DOWNHILL from 6am-10am, and UPHILL from 10:20am-12am. Stand on right and walk on left!
- Catch it to go home before midnight otherwise it's good exercise to walk up!
- Always goes under impromptu repair or maintenance, which can be inconvenient to both daily travellers and one-time tourists.
- Place octopus on the check point for 60% off subways ride for day
- Alan HuangOctober 11, 2012coming down only partially covered by escalator, partially by stairs on foot.
- When it's raining, watch out for the crowd taking shelter on top of the escalator segments.
- the longest covered escalator in the world. Even though it doesn't join up from end to end. Or in the middle.
- Thomas CramptonJanuary 17, 2010Ride it from top to bottom in the morning in less than 20 minutes! (My daily commute, since I live at the top of the escalator and work at the bottom)
- David StrasserNovember 24, 2012Try and recreate some of the famous shots from Wong Kar Wai's "Chungking Express".
- Michael ChanleyOctober 21, 2013What goes up, must go down... or hire a taxi at the pinnacle of your successful summit.
- Paul GabionFebruary 19, 2014Downhill hrs: 0600-1000 / Uphill hrs: 1000-0000. It links Des Voeux Rd C (near harbor) to Conduit Rd
- The longest in the world! Too bad it doesn't go both ways all day and night!
