Central–Mid-Levels Escalator: An Outdoor Stairway Stroll Through Central
Central is usually associated with skyscrapers, but there is also a distinctive outdoor route running from Queen's Road Central up to Conduit Road. The Central to Mid-Levels Escalator and Walkway System is listed by 香港自遊樂在18區 as a Central and Western District spot.
It is more than a single escalator: it combines covered walkways, 16 one-way escalators with reversible direction, and 3 one-way travelators with reversible direction, threading through several narrow Central streets. Along the way you can take in hillside city views and everyday street life.
To plan a trip, you can search routes on the Transport Department's HKeMobility website or app, and it is worth checking opening arrangements and times before you go.
Editor’s noteIf you want to explore Central on foot at an easy pace, this escalator system is a practical option; check transport and opening information online before setting out.
