Finding decent dim sum?
I spent a week in Quarry Bay, mostly working, but I managed to sneak in some exploring. The MTR is super convenient, getting around was a breeze. Food was amazing, but I struggled to find a place tha… more
Yeah, finding a quiet dim sum place in Hong Kong at lunchtime is like finding a unicorn riding a bicycle. It's a mission. But! Try venturing slightly outside the main tourist hubs. Maybe explore some of the smaller districts in Kowloon – Mong Kok or Prince Edward perhaps. Those areas often have some amazing, smaller family-run places tucked away that aren't as overrun. You might have to do a little more digging (and maybe use Google Maps' street view to scout ahead!), but the rewards are usually worth it. Think less Instagram-famous, more authentic local flavor. Good luck, and happy dim sum hunting!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.
