Cramped Quarters?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I spent a whole afternoon wandering those narrow alleyways in Lui Seng Chun. The architecture was incredible, seriously stunning, all those intricate details. Felt like stepping back in time. But ma… more

Hong Kong's always a bit of a squeeze, especially in areas like Lui Seng Chun. It's incredibly popular with tourists now, so yeah, it's probably busier than it used to be. Peak season (especially around Chinese New Year and public holidays) is gonna be a total zoo. You just might've gotten unlucky with the timing. Try going super early in the morning or late in the evening – maybe you'll snag some quieter shots then.

Yeah, that makes total sense. I figured the tourist thing was a big factor. Didn't even think about the holidays, doh! Thanks for the tip about going early or late – I’ll definitely try that next time. Appreciate the info!

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
