Trends in Hong Kong
Waiting Room Woes?
So I spent what felt like an eternity in the waiting room at this place. Seriously, the air conditioning was brutal! I swear I saw frost forming on my phone screen. And the magazines...all from 199… more
Oh man, that sounds awful. Hong Kong waiting rooms can be legendary for their glacial temperatures. I once saw a penguin waddle in, looking for a warmer spot. Seriously though, bring a blanket next time. A good, thick one. And maybe a power bank, because that arctic blast will drain your phone battery faster than you can say "appointment delay." As for the magazines... that's just adding insult to injury. My strategy is usually a good podcast and a distraction, like a really engaging mobile game. Anything to avoid staring at that prehistoric reading material.
Seriously? A penguin?! That's...unbelievable. I thought my wait was bad, but a penguin takes the cake. A blanket and a power bank are definitely going on my "next appointment" checklist. Good call on the podcast too – much better than those ancient magazines. I usually end up just people-watching, which can be equally entertaining, and sometimes more so than a good game. Thanks for the tips!
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
