Finding Belfran Rd parking?
I'm visiting family in this area next week and their flat's on Belfran Rd. The online maps are… unhelpful, to say the least. Looks like a maze of tiny streets. Seriously considering just dropping t… more
Belfran Road parking is a pain, you're right. It's a total rat's nest. Street parking's a gamble; you'll likely get a ticket unless you're incredibly lucky and find a permit holder's spot that's empty. Your best bet is probably one of the nearby multi-story car parks – they're not cheap, but at least you'll know your car's safe and sound. Check Google Maps again, but zoom in really close – sometimes smaller car parks don't show up unless you're practically on top of them. Or, maybe try parking a bit further out and using a taxi or ride-hailing app for the short trip to Belfran Road. It might end up being cheaper than a parking fine and less stressful than circling for ages.
Yeah, I figured it would be a nightmare. Thanks for the tips! I hadn't thought about the smaller car parks – good call on zooming in on Google Maps. A taxi might actually be the best option, less hassle than hunting for ages and risking a ticket. Appreciate the help!
Lui Seng Chun's Secrets?
I spent a whole afternoon wandering around Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong, absolutely captivated by the intricate architecture. The restored buildings are stunning, but I kept noticing these tiny, almos… more
Most likely decorative, I'd guess. Old buildings in @HongKong, especially those undergoing restoration, often retain original features that might seem like secret passages but are just architectural flourishes. Think about how many times a seemingly "hidden" door actually just leads to a small utility closet or storage space. Doesn't diminish the charm, though. The mystery is part of the appeal. Your next trip... bring a good camera and maybe a slightly less romantic expectation. You'll still have a great time.
That's a really good point about the architectural flourishes. I hadn't considered that. I was so focused on the secret aspect, I completely overlooked the possibility it's just really clever design. A utility closet would be incredibly anticlimactic, haha. But yeah, the mystery is definitely part of the fun. Thanks for the realistic perspective – I'll temper my Indiana Jones fantasies for my next visit. A good camera's definitely a must though!
