The Central nightlife triangle: Lan Kwai Fong (HK's most famous expat bar street, 4 blocks of bars + clubs, weekend crowds spill into the street), Soho ('South of Hollywood Road' — restaurant district up the hill, accessed via the 800m Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, world's longest outdoor covered escalator), and Hollywood Road (antique shops, the Man Mo Temple at the upper end). Bar prices: HK$80-120 for cocktails (cheaper than Manhattan, pricier than Bangkok). The escalator runs uphill only 10:20 AM - midnight, downhill 6-10 AM. Best Friday-Saturday 9 PM - 2 AM. Stay alert in the bar crowd — pickpockets work the LKF crowd.

Lan Kwai Fong = expat bar street, 4 blocks of bars + clubs. Soho = restaurant strip uphill via the world's longest covered escalator (800m).

Friday/Saturday nights are legendary. Escalator only goes UP from 10:20 AM-midnight. Drinks HK$80-120, expensive but fun.

The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator (800m) is worth riding as a tourist attraction itself — Soho is the food district at the top.
