Walk this way: stunning staircases in Hong Kong worthy of a detour for that Instagram pose
- Indoor or outdoor, there are some great-looking staircases in Hong Kong, good for a pose and worth going out of your way to admire and walk up or down
Stairs are staples of a city and Hong Kong is no exception. In fact, the structure may be more common here than in many other metropolises for several reasons.
First of all, we have the most skyscrapers in the world and tall buildings simply never exist without a staircase. The city abounds with outdoor staircases as well, as Hong Kong’s hilly landscape makes them necessities.
Do not forget the staircases on the many footbridges, there to allow people to cut across roads that run through the city like arteries.
So prevalent are staircases that most of us rarely give them a second thought. But as with many other things, the individual nature of each emerges once you pay close attention. These come not only from their physical characteristics but also the particular contexts of their locations.
Some are unique by design.
