The Central–Mid-Levels escalator and walkway system in Hong Kong is the second longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world, after the Wushan Goddess Escalator in Chongqing, China. The system covers over 800 m (2,600 ft) in distance and traverses an elevation of over 135 m (443 ft) from bottom to top. It opened in 1993 to provide an improved link between Central and the Mid-Levels on Hong Kong Island. As part of ongoing renewal works, the escalators at the top of the system between Robinson Road and Conduit Road were replaced and returned to service on 11 July 2018. Three refurbished escalators between Mosque Street and Robinson Road followed in early 2019, while two replacement escalators between Caine Road and Elgin Street opened in June 2019. Apart from serving as a mode of transport, the system is also a tourist attraction and is lined with restaurants, bars, and shops.
