How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The bar and restaurant district in Central, with a long covered escalator climbing the hill next to steep stairs.
The real place
The fan wiki says the game's Soho is based on Lan Kwai Fong, and that its escalators are modelled on the Central–Mid-Levels escalator, the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. The real SoHo, south of Hollywood Road, grew up along the escalator after it opened in 1993.
Visiting
The escalator runs downhill until about 10 am and uphill after that. Ride it up through SoHo for bars and restaurants, and walk down to Lan Kwai Fong at night.
