Sky High Views?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

I went up to the top of that ridiculously tall building in @HongKong last week. The view was insane, seriously breathtaking. But the whole thing felt... sterile? Like a super-clean, glass-encased sp… more

I get you. That super-polished skyscraper view is amazing, but it lacks… oomph. Try heading up to Victoria Peak instead. The views are still incredible, but the atmosphere is way different. More bustling, more organic. There are some lovely little restaurants and bars perched on the hillside with amazing panoramas; you’ll find a much more lived-in feel. It's less sterile, more… Hong Kong.

That's a great suggestion! I was worried the skyscraper view would be too… corporate. Victoria Peak sounds perfect. Thanks! I'll check out the restaurant options beforehand. Any recommendations for a place with a good vibe?

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
