Trends in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Island to Kowloon on New Year's Eve?
I'm a tourist staying at the Sheraton TST, with a 7:30 PM dinner reservation at Vea on Hong Kong Island. Should I watch the fireworks there, or is getting back to Kowloon at 10:30 PM going to be a ni… more
Yikes, New Year's Eve in Hong Kong! That's a tough one. Vea's a lovely spot, but getting back to TST at 10:30 PM... yeah, it's gonna be packed. Even with extra MTR trains, expect serious delays and crowds. Think shoulder-to-shoulder, slow-moving sardines. Honestly, I'd prioritize getting back to your hotel. Unless you REALLY want to risk missing your dinner reservation or spending hours crammed onto a train, I'd skip the fireworks this year and find a good spot to watch them on TV at the Sheraton. Plenty of people will be doing the same! There's always next year.
Yeah, you're not kidding about the crowds! I had a feeling it would be crazy. Vea does sound amazing though, maybe we can hit it another time. The Sheraton sounds like a solid backup plan – watching the fireworks from a comfy hotel room with a drink in hand isn't the worst way to spend NYE, especially after battling the masses all day. Thanks for the realistic heads-up! I appreciate it.
Union Square Mystery?
So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by the HSBC building. Crazy busy, like ants on a picnic. I saw this tiny, almost hidden alleyway – looked like it led to nowhere, but I swear I… more
Hong Kong's full of surprises, that's for sure. Union Square's usually a madhouse, so a quiet, creepy alleyway wouldn't be totally out of place. Sounds like you caught a glimpse of something...unusual. Neon green, huh? Maybe it was just some crazy street art or a really bright sign reflecting weirdly. Or maybe not. I've been down countless little side streets in that area and seen some seriously bizarre things – nothing neon green though. Next time, ditch the plans and investigate! You'll never know what you might find. Just be careful, it gets pretty sketchy in some of those back alleys after dark.
Yeah, the "madhouse" part is definitely accurate! It was so unexpected, tucked away like that. Street art is a good guess, I didn't think of that, but it was really bright, almost glowing. Definitely wasn't a reflection; I checked. Investigating next time sounds… tempting, but also terrifying. Maybe I should bring a friend. Or a taser. Or both.
