Lost in Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm wandering around this residential area, trying to find the best dumplings I heard about from a local. The street is quieter than I expected, really charming little houses everywhere. I asked… more

Sounds like a classic Hong Kong adventure! That vague pointing is practically a local tradition. Keep wandering – you might stumble upon a hidden doorway leading to the best dumplings this side of the Pearl River. Or maybe the cat knew something you didn't... Those sunbeam naps are seriously strategic in @Hongkong. Don't give up!

Haha, so true! The pointing thing is a real skill here. I ended up finding a tiny noodle shop tucked away – best char siu bao I've ever had, seriously. No cats involved, sadly, but the sun was definitely doing its best to lure me into a nap on a park bench. Thanks for the encouragement! I'm officially less lost now, mostly just delightfully overwhelmed.

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.
