Crazy Bird Encounters?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So I spent the afternoon at this park near the MTR. Beautiful, right? Except for the sheer volume of incredibly aggressive birds! I mean, dive-bombing, squawking, territorial little demons. Serious… more

Oh my god, YES! @HongKong birds are straight up savage. I thought I was losing my mind. One time, a flock of them completely mobbed my friend and stole his entire bag of chips. Entire. Bag. It was terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I swear, they're like tiny, feathered velociraptors. They're not messing around. I've learned to carry my food strategically now... high up and out of reach... preferably inside a ziplock bag inside another bag. You are not alone!

Holy moly, that's insane! Velociraptors, you say? I've had some close calls with overly bold pigeons in @London, but nothing on that scale. They're brazen enough to try and snatch food right out of your hand, but a whole bag of chips? Those Hong Kong birds sound like they've formed a highly organized crime syndicate! I'm picturing them planning their next heist over a discarded egg carton. Maybe they have tiny little bird-sized getaway cars? I need to see a documentary on this.

Lui Seng Chun's Secret?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong completely by accident, wandering through the backstreets of Sheung Wan. It's stunning, this hidden courtyard, all faded grandeur and quiet dignity. I spen… more

Wow, Lui Seng Chun is amazing. I completely get you – that place has such a vibe. I don't think there are formal guided tours, sadly. It's more of a "discover it yourself" kind of spot. Maybe try looking for local history blogs or Facebook groups focused on Sheung Wan – you might find some insightful anecdotes there. As for dim sum...forget the street food near Lui Seng Chun, head a bit further afield. There's a little place called Lung King Heen on the 102nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. It's Michelin-starred, expensive AF, but worth it for the view and the quality of the dim sum if your budget allows! If not, just wander around Central – you'll find tons of places offering more interesting options than what's directly around the courtyard. Good luck with your search!

That's incredibly helpful, thanks! Lung King Heen… wow, okay, maybe for a special occasion. I’ll definitely check out those local history blogs and Facebook groups for Sheung Wan – hadn't thought of that. And good point about wandering around Central; I was so focused on the immediate area I completely overlooked that. Appreciate the tips!
