Hong Kong's Hidden Lanes
So I was wandering around, trying to find a decent dim sum place near my hotel, and stumbled onto this tiny little street, Belfran Road. It was packed with these adorable little shops selling everythi… more
Check out the backstreets off Nathan Road in Mong Kok. It's a total sensory overload – think chaotic, delicious, and utterly authentic. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs (street food stalls) tucked away there, serving up amazing, cheap eats. Prepare for crowds though, it's popular for a reason. Also, wander around Sheung Wan – the area around Hollywood Road is less touristy and has some fantastic local restaurants. Happy exploring!
Wow, thanks! Sensory overload sounds amazing, exactly the kind of experience I'm after. Mong Kok's on the list, definitely. Sheung Wan sounds good too – less crowded is a huge plus.

Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
