Hong Kong Snapshot (6) – World longest outdoor covered escalator system 香港隨拍(6) – 全球最長戶外有蓋行人扶手電梯

今天有一天假期，特地來到香港的中環，征服這一條全球最長的戶外有蓋行人扶手電梯: 中環至半山自動扶手電梯 (簡稱半山電梯)。
Today is my day off. So I came to Central of HK, to finish this world longest outdoor covered escalator system: The Central–Mid-Levels escalator and walkway system (short term: Mid-Levels escalator).

尤如沒有盡頭的半山電梯。Camera: Sony A6000

半山電梯於1993年啟用，由中環的德輔道中開始，依山而上，直到半山的干德道為止，全長超過800米！是全球最長的紀錄，我今天走畢全程，共用了20分鐘！至於半山電梯垂直差距為135米，為半山的居民帶來不少便利，至少不需要在夏天逐級爬上山。
The system started operation since 1993, start from Des Voeux Road Central to Conduit Road. The total length is over 800m, which make a world record. Today, I used 20 minutes to finish this. The height of the system is 135m, which provide a great convenience to the Mid-Levels residents.

第一次走行人電梯走了20分鐘！

今天的半山電梯已成為香港知名景點之一，也是我推介遊客必去的景點，在半山電梯，你可感受到香港生活的風貌：擠擁、中西混合、新舊匯聚、香港特色！加上，電梯附近有多個著名景點及米芝蓮美食，在這個地方，你可以花上整整一個下午！

Besides, there are a lot of famous hot spot and Michelin Restaurant around. You may spend a half day on this escalator!
