Finding a decent dim sum place
I spent three days in this bustling suburb, dodging the crowds and the ever-present scent of street food. The skyscrapers were amazing, a real concrete jungle, but honestly, I felt a little lost in t… more
Head to Mong Kok. It's crazy busy, yeah, but that's where you'll find the real deal. Skip the fancy places with the Insta-worthy presentations – look for smaller, family-run joints. The ones with long queues of actual locals are usually a good bet. Don't be afraid to venture down some side streets; that's where the gold is hidden. You'll find some seriously amazing dim sum that'll blow your mind, even if it's not all pretty pictures. Good luck and happy eating!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
