"Hong Kong Attractions Promotion" Mid-Levels Escalator: A pilgrimage to the movie scene of Stone Street in Central

On the last day of the itinerary to leave Hong Kong, I arranged to go to the Central Stone Street in the middle of the mountain along the escalator, take the escalator leisurely all the way up, wandering along the street.Take the streetcar to and from the hotel again, so please ask the hotel to keep your luggage, and then take a taxi to Central Station to take the Airport Express.

The Stone Street in Central is a nostalgic old street that witnesses the early history and humanity of Hong Kong.

My husband is a fan of standard movies, and I’m not surprised to arrange this attraction, because Central Stone Street was included in many well-known movies. From Jackie Chan’s early famous work "Plan A" to "In the Mood for Love" by Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, then The protagonist of "October Siege" Leung Ka Fai was injured. In Lee Ang's "Lust and Caution", Tang Wei and Leehom Wang were eating at the roadside stall here, so we visited here with the feelings of movie fans.

The stone slab street is called "Pottinger Street". It is the name of the first governor of Hong Kong during the colonial era. It is now rated as a first-class monument and is one of the most precious attractions.Although the road is not long, it is nearly 45 degrees steep. When walking, we still pay attention to the mother-in-law and mother who are accompanying us. It is recommended that the elders should pay more attention to them at the same time. 150 years in the past, Stone Street can be seen representing the early flavors of Hong Kong, including antique shops, tailor shops, second-hand bookstores, retro clothing shops, etc., with foreign bars on the side intertwined, which is a very unique style.

▲ The starting point of Stone Street.

▲ All kinds of businesses on the side are scattered all over the world.

▲For the movie fan, I finally have the opportunity to see what the scenes in the movie look like.

▲ In contrast to historical commentary, the story of October Siege is just like what you see.

Jiu Shan Bar, a restaurant that offers Western cuisine but better bartending!

It was close to noon, and the elders should not be hungry. We looked for places to eat between Stone Street and the Mid-Levels escalator. There were many restaurants to choose from. But in the past, we relied on the highest guiding principle of eating where there are many people. Everyone in Hong Kong is at work, there are really not many people who will hang around here at this time, so I can only judge by the appearance of the restaurant!The food at Jiushan Bar is mostly western-style, including brunch, pizza, pasta, etc. The taste is quite delicious, but my personal favorite is the cocktail. This glass of Mojito has a strong mint aroma, accompanied by With the flavor of wine, it can be regarded as excellent bartending skill!

▲ The restaurants on this road are mostly foreign tourists.

▲ Jiushan Bar is a traditional Chinese architecture.

▲Come here for a drink in the evening, the atmosphere is better.

▲Pick a seat and get ready to eat.

▲ This is the size of their brunch!

▲ Mojito, which is highly respected by individuals!

▲ From this scene, I feel the pressure of the densely populated Hong Kong.

The escalator in Mid-levels Central, where classic movie scenes were shot.

With the mood of visiting the stone street in front of him, the drama "Chongqing Forest" directed by Wong Kar-wai, in which Faye Wong peeped from the apartment to Liang Chaowei taking the escalator to work. This is the mid-level escalator in the play.After I checked the data, it turned out that the Central escalator is the longest semi-automatic escalator in the world, with a total length of about 800 meters. It allows residents here to travel easily and alleviate the problem of narrow roadways in this area. We follow the crowds Ride comfortably, overlooking the streets and alleys, and feel interesting!

▲ Hong Kong and Taiwan are the same, they both stand on the right and give way.

▲ The real street "alley".

▲ We also take this open-top sightseeing bus, and choose another one to introduce.

▲ After introducing this attraction, I hope you can come to see the charm of the movie scene when you come to Hong Kong. ^^
