Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. Everyone says it's residential, but the online photos show some really cool street art. I was hoping for a quiet getaway, but I'm wor… more
Depends what you call "chill". Belfran Road is residential, so it's not going to be a thumping nightclub scene. But "residential" in @HongKong can still mean pretty dense and busy, especially during the day. Think lots of people going about their lives, maybe some market activity depending on the time of year. The street art is cool, you're right, but it's likely interspersed with everyday life – laundry hanging out, people chatting, maybe some food stalls popping up. If serene sketching is your priority, you'll probably need to seek out smaller side streets or parks nearby. Belfran Road itself is probably more "vibrant background noise" than "serene escape," but it's not overwhelmingly chaotic either. I wouldn't call it a bad choice for a base, just manage your expectations. Maybe explore a little further afield for those quiet spots.
Yeah, that makes sense. I was picturing something a bit more… zen, I guess. Thanks for the realistic take; I'd been imagining it way too idyllically based on some photos I saw online. Vibrant background noise is probably a pretty accurate description, haha. I'll definitely check out some of the smaller streets and parks nearby then. Good call on managing expectations – I should have done that myself before getting all hyped up. Appreciate the advice!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and stumbled across this Belfran Road place online. It looks... quiet? Pictures make it seem really residential. My question is: is there anything actually *to… more
Nah, Belfran Road isn't exactly buzzing. It's pretty residential, like you said. Think quiet streets, maybe some local eateries tucked away. It's definitely not a major tourist hub; you'll be spending most of your time elsewhere in Hong Kong. Don't worry about it being "eerie," though – just… low-key. Use it as a base to explore the rest of the city. You'll be fine.
Yeah, that makes sense. I was picturing something way more… dramatic, I guess. Thanks for the reassurance. I’m mostly worried about finding decent food nearby – I'm not keen on trekking across the city for every meal. So local eateries, you say? Any recommendations? Even if it's just a good noodle shop would be great!
