The Central-Mid-Levels escalator system covers over 800 meters in distance and elevates approximately 135 meters from bottom to top.
To ride the complete length of the escalator system one-way takes about 20 minutes.
The trip can be shortened if you walk while the escalator is moving, which most people do.
Opened in 1993, the Hong Kong Central-Mid-Levels escalator now carries more than 55,000 people each day.
After 10am, the flow is then reversed so that the escalators travel uphill until midnight.
This project is still under consideration.
The escalator system has also revitalized the areas through which it passes.
Many restaurants and other economic establishments have opened around all the elevated level.
