Central's Hidden Laneways?
So I'm heading to Central next week, buzzing to explore the area beyond the skyscrapers. Heard whispers of these amazing hidden laneways packed with tiny shops and street food stalls – the kind you o… more
Just wander. Seriously. Central's a maze, especially west of Hollywood Road. Don't follow a map, just pick a side street that looks interesting and go. You'll find yourself in tiny alleyways crammed with little shops selling everything from dried seafood to vintage electronics. The dim sum places are often tucked away – look for places with lots of locals. And yeah, maybe avoid the really dark alleys late at night... unless you're into that kind of thing. But honestly, getting a little turned around is half the fun. You'll stumble on stuff you'd never find otherwise. Embrace the chaos!
That's awesome advice! I love the "get a little lost" approach. I'm definitely trying that. Sounds way more fun than meticulously following a guide. Thanks!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
