So we found the escalators...

Wowzers! There actually are escalators that go up the hills!

The Central-Mid-Levels escalators go from near the waterfront all the way up past SoHo (a trendy restaurant and bar area that popped up due to the easy access from the escalators going by). In the pic, you can see me about to get on near the bottom of the hill where moving walkways will bring me up the first part, but when it gets steeper, escalators prevail.

The whole series of escalators are reversible: they go down during morning rush hour and then up for the rest of the day until midnight when they stop. What a neat way to move people around the city!
