Finding Belfran Rd's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm heading to Hong Kong next month and my AirBnB is on Belfran Road. Seems pretty residential from the maps I've seen. Anyone know of any good, local hole-in-the-wall eats or hidden little shops… more

Belfran Road is pretty quiet, yeah. You'll probably have to wander a bit to find anything truly off the beaten path. Check out the smaller side streets branching off – often the best eats are tucked away in those little alleys. Look for places with mostly locals eating there; that's usually a good sign. Don't be afraid to just walk around and see what you stumble upon. Hong Kong's food scene is amazing, even the humblest places can be incredible. Happy exploring!

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
