The city is connected by 49 bridges, some of which are particularly remarkable. The Taiping bridges (peace and tranquillity), My (luck) and Changqing (long celebration) form a circular route considered to be lucky by the premises. According to tradition, the inhabitants of the village carry out this journey for weddings or anniversaries in order to ensure good fortune for the coming year. The Siben Bridge (origin of thought) is the oldest in the city. It was built under the Song dynasty between 960 and 1276. Finally the Dubu Bridge (only one step) is the smallest in the city: by barely one metre, it is only metres long.

This 800 m mechanical staircase made up of 20 sections is the longest escalator covered outside the world. He is nicknamed the "glass snake". Completed in 1993 (at a cost of HK $ 245 million), it drains more than 200 000 pedestrians every day through narrow and wandering streets that wind towards Mid-Levels hills. Beginner at Greetings Road, he passes over Cochrane Street and crosses Hollywood Road and Soho district, to Drive Road.
