A pedestrian skyway in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai District, China

With roughly 1.3 million people living on Hong Kong Island’s 30 square miles of land, getting around means navigating busy streets. Escalators and skyways - including this roundabout-style skyway at a crossroads in the Wan Chai District - are an easy way to keep pedestrians safe. While trains, buses, cars and cycles wheel by below, foot traffic moves along above.
