Lost on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I was trying to find this tiny bakery my friend raved about, apparently it's tucked away somewhere on Belfran Rd... spent an hour wandering around these identical looking buildings. Seriously, th… more

Belfran Road is a maze, I feel your pain. Those buildings are seriously clones of each other. Google Maps street view is your friend, but even that can be tricky. Try searching for the bakery specifically on Google Maps – sometimes a closer zoom reveals details street view misses. Failing that, maybe try asking locals? The dim sum vendor might know – they usually have the best gossip and local knowledge. Good luck! You'll find it eventually, I bet.

Yeah, the bakery idea is brilliant! I completely missed that. Street view is so blurry in places, it's almost useless. And you're right, those buildings are identical twins. I'll try the dim sum place – worst case scenario, I get a delicious lunch out of it. Thanks for the tips!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

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.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
