levels

Mid-Levels is an affluent residential area on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It is located between Victoria Peak and Central. Residents are predominantly more affluent Hong Kong locals and expatriate professionals.
The Mid-Levels is further divided into four areas (From the below , Mid-Levels of Central District can be subdivided into two Mid-Levels. Inculded: Mid-Levels West and Mid-Levels Central. ):

Mid-Levels West (near Central, Sheung Wan and Sai Wan including Bonham Road, Caine Road, and Conduit Road etc.
Mid-Levels Central (near Central, Admiralty and Wan Chai ,above the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and Hong Kong Park .Including MacDonnell Road, Kennedy Road ,Old Peak Road and Bowen Road) etc.
Mid-Levels East (near Causeway Bay, including Jardine's Lookout, Stubbs Road and Mount Butler),
Mid-Levels North (near North Point including Braemar Hill).Aside from the panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the rest of the city, it is also close to Central and Admiralty, which are both significant business areas, thus providing easy and convenient access for the business people living in Mid-Levels. An added attraction of the Mid-Levels is its close proximity to nature and comparatively better air quality than many parts of Hong Kong Island. Many wealthy people in Hong Kong are willing to pay higher residential property prices for a residence that is further away from pollution and yet remains close to the centre of the city.
Many streets are named after former Governors of Hong Kong. Examples include Bonham Road (after George Bonham, 1848–1854) and Kennedy Road (after Arthur Edward Kennedy, 1872–1877). Many of the roads in this area are within walking distance of the Central Business District, which is accessible by the Mid-Levels escalator from Central.
Many choices for housing are available, from ultra-luxurious apartments to compact, near-luxury apartments. The costs of these apartments vary considerably according to the size, location, and age of the building. The cost ranges from the high ten million dollars to over five hundred million Hong Kong dollars for an apartment in a Frank Gehry-designed building.
Many prestigious colleges and schools are located in Mid-Levels, including the University of Hong Kong, St Francis' Canossian College, Island School, King's College, Ying Wa Girls' School, St. Paul's Co-educational College and St. Joseph's College, to name a few.

Sections of the escalator had been under renovation in 2018 and 2019, with some sections closed for maintenance.

    Batons, levels, trackers

    hello lovely people, I currently use spirit levels with holes drilled in either end to secure to the wall to start my tiles from. However this is crap if I’ve tanked the area as I’m compromising the tanking. Same with timber batons. What are your views on the adjustable tile trackers? Vitrex...

    Spirit levels

    While I have been in France for the last couple of weeks, I notice many of the local builders using a 40cm sized torpedo level. I used to have one many years ago but it got nicked and I haven't seen any for sale anywhere. The levels were great when fixing tiles into sand and cement as they...

    Stabila telescopic level

    So bombarded with the usual tool companies emails, but one thing caught my eye, the stabila telescopic spirt level. Are these a new thing are have they been about a while, because I ain't. Looks right up my street, but wonder if they are sturdy enough. Sizes range from 63cm-105cm and an 80cm-127cm.
