Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?
I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I'm staying near Belfran Road. The photos online make it look surprisingly quiet for a city like @HongKong. My friend, a local, warned me it’s not as tranqui… more
Belfran Road can be surprisingly quiet, especially in certain sections, but it's definitely not consistently zen-like. Think pockets of calm interspersed with the usual Hong Kong hustle. The photos probably capture those quieter moments. You'll find some residential areas that feel peaceful, especially early in the morning or late at night. But it’s still a busy city – noise will creep in. No street fights, likely, but expect typical city sounds. Low-key but not exactly a secluded retreat. Manage your expectations, and you should be fine.
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I was picturing something a bit more…removed. Thanks for the realistic take. I'll temper my expectations. Maybe a morning stroll is the way to go then.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
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.
