Next week I'll be visiting Hong Kong for the first time. I'm flying in on Tuesday 18 November and staying in Central. My flight lands mid-afternoon, and I've got the rest of Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday free before my plans start later in the week.

If you're in Hong Kong and fancy meeting up for food, a walk, or a chat, let me know!

Also, if you've got any favourite spots, views, walks, or local places to eat that you'd recommend, I'd love to hear them, especially things that give a feel for the city beyond the usual tourist trail.

@joeldn I've always thought Bristol could use something like this for our hills!

When I land, one of the first things I'm doing is taking the Mid-Levels escalators up to my Airbnb, luggage and all.

@edward @joeldn Depending on how far up you need to go and the time of day… it may not be a pleasant experience hauling yourself with luggage up this thing!

@mj12albert Thanks, that's really useful. Sounds like hauling a suitcase up the escalators isn't the wisest plan after a long flight, so I'll head up to my Airbnb by taxi or bus instead.
