What is the Central Mid-Levels Escalator in Hong Kong?The Central Mid-Levels Escalator is a series of raised escalators and stairs that transport
pedestrians between the Central district on Hong Kong (Victoria) Island to
the Mid-Levels district. The escalators run from 6am to midnight. During the morning
commute from 6am to 10am, the escalator travels downhill from the
Mid-Levels to Central and reverses direction from 10:30am to midnight.
The highest street reached by the escalator is Conduit Road while the
bottom-most street reached by the escalator is Dex Voeux Road. Pedestrians can enter
and exit the Escalator at each intersecting street. The journey takes 20
minutes if one does not walk to expedite the ascent or descent. Plenty
of dining and retail establishments are located near the escalator, especially on the lower half of the hill. last updated 2008.11.23
