Causeway Bay — Attraction in Hong Kong

As a parent of a young child that requires a stroller to move around this mtr station among my least favorite. Now when childless I used to think the mtr was great but now I know better. Small lifts that couldn’t accommodate two friends in an electronic wheel chair at the same time. The staff here will berate you about taking a stroller up an escalator but will not bother anyone talking a suitcase on wheels up them. I have never seen them confront anyone but they go after every parent with a stroller. Conversely, I have never seen them stand by the elevator and talk to the many able bodied people especially the young the often fill up a lift and leave those who have no other options waiting for the next. It’s a very backwards approach to trying to serve those who the service was made for. Stations built in the past 15 years should have a lift at every entrance. A quick survey of their elderly patrons would show how valued it would be. It’s a no brainer for anyone with a disability. The fares of the mtr are among the lowest in the world. Surely, they could better align their values along with their drive...

A chaotic retail jungle where malls stack on top of malls like someone played SimCity with no planning permission. Home to enough neon signs to give your pupils a workout and more shopping bags than self-control.

Historically a quiet fishing village, now a capitalist fever dream where your credit card goes to die. Times Square, SOGO, Hysan Place… pick your poison. Locals dodge tourists like it’s an Olympic sport, and food stalls sneak up on you with delicious smells that derail all diets.

Was taking random photos when a tall, elegant, friendly-looking chick strolled past and waved. Thought she looked vaguely familiar.. a little bird later told me it was Tang Wei. Tang who? Yeah, that Tang Wei. Apparently she’s famous. I just waved back like a clueless extra.

If Hong Kong ever sleeps, it’s definitely not here. Also, good luck finding a bench. This is not a place to rest, it’s a place to consume, sweat, and question your life choices while holding bubble...

One of my favourite stations (on the Island line) as it is just a 12 minute walk to the HK Stadium and a 5 minute walk to the Causeway Bay Terminus for the Tram-o-ramic Tour. It's also right in the heart of all the retail therapy you could ever need. Trains were basically every 4 minutes so I never felt the need to rush. Cash tickets are available from the station reps and there are self-service machines to top up your Octopus card using a debit or credit card. Tickets aren't pricey at all. Note that it isn't possible to purchase case tickets for other lines at this station. Lots of eateries in the area and there some cafes at the station too (Exit E). Can't recall if there's a lift at this station but am sure there is just check the signage or the station map....
