Finding a decent dim sum spot?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week for a conference. The schedule's brutal, but I've heard the food scene's amazing. Problem is, I'm completely clueless about where to grab authentic dim sum outsid… more
Tim Ho Wan in Mong Kok is always a solid bet, though it's popular so expect some wait, but usually not crazy long. It's affordable and delicious, and they don't mind solo diners at all. Alternatively, just wander around the residential areas near Hung Hom station – you'll find smaller, family-run places that often serve fantastic dim sum at ridiculously cheap prices. Look for places packed with locals, that’s usually a good sign! Just be prepared to point and maybe use some basic Cantonese phrases if your Mandarin's not up to scratch. You'll find it's easier than you think. Good luck with the conference!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

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.
