The Best Sight in Hong Kong, China

By far the best way to navigate the steep slopes that rise up from the Western and Central districts toward Mid-Levels is the world's longest covered outdoor escalator. Free of charge and protected from the elements, this series of moving walkways makes the uphill journey a cinch. It connects to several main residential streets, the bars, and restaurants of SoHo, and also provides direct access to Tai Kwun via a ramp. From 6 to 10 am the escalators only move downward, carrying an endless stream of workers and their cups of coffee. The escalator ceases operation at midnight.
