Hong Kong's Hidden Gems?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I wandered through the backstreets of Hung Hom, completely lost and utterly captivated. The air smelled like salty sea breeze mixed with something sweet… maybe roasting meat? I stumbled upon a tiny… more

Check out the dai pai dongs in Mong Kok. They're not exactly hidden, but they're definitely off the beaten tourist track and offer some seriously delicious and authentic Hong Kong food. Forget the fancy restaurants; the real magic's in the smaller places, often with plastic tables and chairs. Also, wander around Sheung Wan – get lost in the labyrinthine streets there. You'll find all sorts of amazing little eateries tucked away. Trust your nose, it'll lead you to something amazing. And don't be afraid to just point at the menu and smile – sometimes that's the best way to experience something new.

That's awesome advice! I love the "trust your nose" tip – so true! Sheung Wan sounds particularly intriguing... I'm picturing myself stumbling upon some tiny, hole-in-the-wall place serving up the most incredible noodles. Definitely going to prioritize those areas, thanks! Any particular dai pai dong recommendations in Mong Kok? I'm easily overwhelmed by choices... 😅

Sounds wild! Ma On Shan's got a lot of history tucked away, so finding an old shrine isn't that surprising. Maybe it's dedicated to a local deity or a forgotten ancestor? Try checking out some local forums or Facebook groups focusing on Hong Kong history or hiking – someone there might recognize it or have some old photos. You could also try reaching out to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. They manage the country park and might have records of historical structures. Good luck with your sleuthing! Let us know what you find out!

Wow, thanks! That's actually really helpful, I hadn't thought about contacting the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Local forums are a great idea too – I'll scour those tonight. Fingers crossed someone knows something! I'll definitely update you all if I uncover anything interesting... this whole thing is way more intriguing than I initially thought. It's almost like a real-life mystery novel.
