Shelley Street escalator upgrade. The Central–Mid-Levels escalator and walkway system in Hong Kong is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. The system covers over 800 m (2,600 ft) in distance and traverses an elevation of over 135 m (443 ft) from bottom to top.

Jamia Mosque 些利街清真寺，又稱回教清真禮拜總堂，位於香港島中環半山區些利街30號，些利街和摩羅廟街的交界。該寺為香港最古老的清真寺，反映香港殖民地時代穆斯林的歷史，也象徵了香港宗教文化的多元性。

些利街清真寺建於1849年，當時只是一間簡陋的小石屋。至1870年，清真寺獲地擴建為清真寺，直至1890年才竣工，正式建為一間清真寺。該寺其後於1915年重建(有說是1905年來自印度孟買的富商穆罕默德．哈奇出資重建)，只保留舊寺的尖塔，即是現時所見的外貌。現時該寺旁則興建了一座8層高的文化中心。
