Every week I will go to the mid-level of Central by the longest escalator in Hong Kong!
I think Central is a very special district as the heart of Hong Kong! There are many commercial buildings, but still have many old school residental house, restaurant, retail shops, market, etc.. I had friends living here and they had two golden retrievers, so I will bring my dog Hazel to have dog walk with them at the weekend. Unfortunately, there are no more car parking, I the Illegal parking penalty every time!

This escalator connected from the Central MTR station to the Peak, if I was not running I used more than 30 mins from the Central MTR to my destination. Although there are mini-bus from Admiralty to my destination used 20 mins only, I still like to arrive my place by this way. I will pass through the Old Central Police Station, there are re-built to a Hong Kong statutory monument! I must take a photo shot when I pass there, there are many famous restaurant, I will visit there later!

Furthermore, the special stairs must be a good photo shoot, not only climbing up, walking down also is a challenge! The shops, restaurant, bars at side also have their character. Actually a international urban area at there, you will meet any type of people coming form all over the world!

每週我都會乘香港最長的自動扶手電梯前往中環的半山區！
我認為中環是一個非常特別的地區，是香港的心臟，不慬有許多商業大廈，還有許多舊式的住宅、餐廳、零售商店、市場等等。我有朋友住在這裡，他們有兩隻金毛獵犬，所以經常在周末會帶我的狗狗Hazel與他們一起放狗，不幸的是，那邊附近完全沒有停車位，我每次都會收到非法停車的罰款！

這個自動扶手電梯從中環地鐵站一直連接到山頂，如果我沒有用跑步的速度在電梯上行走，從中環地鐵到目的地的時間要超過30分鐘，雖然乘搭小型巴士從金鐘到目的地只須20分鐘，但我還是喜歡乘搭這條扶手電梯，其間每次都會經過舊中央警察局，是重建了的香港法定建築物，一定會拍一張照片，那兒還有很多著名的餐館，遲些一定要去那兒參觀一下！

此外，兩旁的樓梯是一個很好的拍攝風景，不僅爬上去，走下來也是一個挑戰！當中的商店、餐廳、酒吧各有特色，實際上那兒最能反映出國際共融的地點，你會遇到來自世界各地的任何類型的人！
