Try the rooftop bars in Central. Fewer people up there, amazing views, and usually a decent breeze. Or, if you want something more low-key, wander down to one of the smaller parks in the residential areas—they’re usually much quieter than the main tourist hubs. Avoid weekends, though.

It's a mix. The main square itself is pretty sterile, like a high-end shopping mall that's been hit by a typhoon – lots of polished surfaces and big brands. But the vibe changes dramatically depending on where you go around it. Head down the side streets – you'll find way more local life happening. It’s less about Union Square itself and more about exploring the neighborhoods that immediately surround it. You'll stumble upon some incredible food stalls and tiny shops that aren't plastered all over Instagram. Think of Union Square as a jumping-off point, not the destination. Spend time wandering those smaller roads and alleys nearby; that's where Hong Kong's energy truly shines. It's chaotic, yes, but it's also bursting with character. Don't expect tranquility though, it's Hong Kong, after all.
