CENTRAL-MID LEVELS ESCALATOR

LETS FEEL THE EARTH MOVE IN HONG KONG

At 800M, the mid-levels escalator is the world’s longest covered outdoor escalator, consisting 20

separate escalators and 3 moving pavements.

This was built in 1994 to cut down excessive trafic that was building up due to the narrow streets in

the area. This system runs all over Soho, a very

ERN COAST OF LANTAU ISLAND IS A QUAINT AND PICTURESQUE VILLAGE,

WITH THE TRADITIONAL STILT HOUSES PRE-DOMINANT OF THE OLD SOUTHERN CHINESE

FISHING VILLAGES. WITH ITS PRETTY SETTING ON THE COAST FRAMED BY THE MOUNTAINS, AND ALL THE AC-

TIVITIES SURROUNDING THE HARBOUR, THE TRADITION-AL SEAFOOD MARKET, AND THE DAILY LIFE IN THE STILT HOUSES, IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE TRIP FROM HONG KONG. TAI O USED TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT TRADING AND FISHING PORT, YOU CAN STILL SEE THE OLD FOLKS MAKING A LIVING IN THE OLD TRADITIONAL WAY AT THIS LIVELY MARKET, WHICH REMAINS ONE OF THE FAVOURITE PLACES FOR LOCALS TO BUY THEIR SEAFOODS AND THE FAMOUS “SHRIMP PASTE” OF THIS AREA. THE MARKET IS A FEAST FOR THE EYES, PERHAPS NOT THE NOSE, BUT MAKE

SOME TIME TO STROLL THROUGH THE ALLEYS AND CHECK OUT THE LIVE SEAFOOD TANKS, THE

VAST ARRAY OF DRIED SEAFOODS AND VEGETABLES, KNICK KNACKS, AND

SOUVENIRS.
