Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong rewards walkers who embrace its vertical landscape. The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, the world's longest covered escalator system, carries you uphill through SoHo's restaurants and galleries, but the real discoveries lie on the side streets. The historic neighborhoods of Sheung Wan and Sai Ying Pun preserve dried seafood shops, herbal medicine stores, and temple incense next to trendy coffee shops. Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront offers one of the world's great skyline views, while the narrow streets of Mong Kok overflow with flower markets, goldfish stalls, and dai pai dong street food. Victoria Peak provides a panoramic perspective reached by the iconic Peak Tram, and the hiking trails across Hong Kong Island and the New Territories reveal a surprisingly green side of this dense metropolis.
