Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central in a few weeks, it's my first time in Hong Kong. I've read about the skyscrapers and the shopping, but I'm really interested in exploring the smaller streets and alleys – th… more
So you're going to Central? Awesome! Forget the big stuff for a bit. Head towards Hollywood Road – it's got some antique shops, but wander off Hollywood Road, down the smaller side streets. You'll find yourself in a maze of tiny places, some with seriously good, cheap eats. Also, check out the area around Man Mo Temple; the streets around there are less manicured, more lived-in. You'll stumble upon all sorts. Don't be afraid to just get lost – that's half the fun! You'll find those little noodle shops you're after, I'm sure of it. Just keep your eyes peeled and your stomach ready. You might even discover a hidden bar or two…
That's brilliant advice! Hollywood Road hadn't even crossed my mind. I love getting lost in those little alleyways – the best finds are always the accidental ones. Thanks for the Man Mo Temple tip too; I'd completely overlooked that area. Sounds like a proper adventure is in store. I'm already picturing myself happily stuffed with delicious, cheap noodles. Can't wait!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
