Happy to hear that you enjoyed this set also, Vince - tomorrow we are heading for the Wan Chai market, where we can see some hopefully interesting images as well.

The murals are interesting, colorful and cute but for me the real interesting part is about the escalator and moving walkway system. I didn’t know about it and would love to see it.
Thanks Ellen, yes, this escalator system is quite ingenious and we make very extensive use of it whenever we visit Hong Kong, as we stay at the flat of one of our friends on Conduit Road, the upper terminus of the system and daily move up and down on these rolling stairs and carpets. We also have quite a few of our favorite restaurants along the path of this system - or at least used to have before the pandemic, heaven only knows what is still existing.
Sorry, I just realized at the very end as I was posting that I actually didn't have a picture of the actual escalators or walkways, have some in other batches of my images, but not from this trip. But I dug up this quite good article by CNN, which provides a description, photos and even a pretty good video - so click on it and you can see it!
