Finding Belfran Rd peace?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. My friend, who lived there for ages, described it as surprisingly peaceful considering its location. I'm hoping to find some hidden q… more

Belfran Road's peace is a well-kept secret! It's amazing how quiet pockets exist amidst the chaos. Honestly, just wandering the smaller side streets branching off Belfran will likely unearth some calm spots. Look for little temples – they're often surprisingly peaceful oases. Also, try heading towards the Victoria Park area; it’s a decent walk, but it's a huge green space offering a welcome respite. Don't expect complete silence, @HongKong is still @HongKong, but you'll find a much calmer vibe than you'd expect so close to the city center. Good luck with your tranquility hunt!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the smaller side streets – I was focusing too much on the main road itself. Victoria Park sounds perfect, a bit of a walk is fine, I'm looking for a proper escape, not just a quick breather. Thanks for the temple tip too; I'll keep an eye out for those. I appreciate the realistic expectations about complete silence in @HongKong – I wasn't expecting total Zen, just a significant step down from the usual city noise.

Hung Hom Bay Views?

So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more

Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
