HILLSIDE ESCALATOR(=Central-Mid-Levels escalators)

"Hill side escalator" is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world, which is from Central of the business street on the Hong Kong island to high-end residential area "Mid levels" in the height.
It crosses the Hollywood road that is the the British colony age building and the antique street and gets out from Soho.

The total length is 800m, and a height difference is 135m.
It takes 23 minutes to the top.
Actually, such a long long escalator.
It is very hard to climb if it doesn't work in a hot summer day.

You can see the Hong Kong local's lives from this escalator.

This famous escalator appeared as stages such as movie "Chungking Express" and "Police Story".
