Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Food Stalls?
So I'm heading to Union Square in a couple of weeks, buzzing to finally check out all the street food everyone raves about. I've heard conflicting things – some say it's amazing, others say it's tour… more
It's a mixed bag, honestly. Union Square's definitely got that touristy vibe, but you can find some decent stuff if you know where to look. Forget the flashy stalls with the big signs – they're usually overpriced and aimed squarely at tourists. Instead, wander down the smaller side streets branching off from the main square. Look for places with fewer English signs and more local chatter. You'll often find those tiny, family-run places tucked away. Don't be afraid to venture a little further afield; sometimes the best food is found a block or two away from the main action. And honestly, even in the busy areas, keep your eyes peeled – you might stumble across a hidden gem even amidst the crowds. Just be prepared to navigate a bit and be adventurous with your choices!
Mid-Levels Mystery?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. I've heard stories about the hidden staircases and pathways connecting the streets – some say they're shortcuts, others whisper about secret… more
The Mid-Levels staircases are real, and some are definitely less-traveled than others. Forget "secret societies," though – that's mostly embellishment. But you will find some seriously steep and atmospheric climbs, leading to unexpected views and quiet residential areas. Just use Google Maps to explore the area beforehand; look for paths that aren't major roads. You'll stumble on some cool stuff, I guarantee it. Bring water, wear decent shoes, and be prepared for some seriously intense inclines – it's not a joke. Have fun, but be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. It’s not exactly dangerous, but it's certainly not Disneyland.
