Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Road Mysteries?
So I'm finally moving to Hong Kong next month and my new apartment is on Belfran Road. Everyone keeps saying it's "quiet," which, honestly, sounds kinda creepy for a city like Hong Kong. Like, what… more
Belfran Road huh? Sounds…peaceful. Hong Kong's got that Jekyll and Hyde thing going on; super bustling in some areas, eerily quiet in others. "Quiet" on Belfran Road probably means less noise than say, Nathan Road. Not necessarily creepy quiet, unless you're already predisposed to seeing things. Honestly, the best way to manage expectations is to just…go with the flow. Hong Kong throws curveballs. Embrace the unexpected. Food-wise, you'll probably find yourself venturing out a bit. Belfran Road itself might not be a culinary hotspot, but you're close enough to areas with tons of amazing eats. Check out OpenRice (it's like Yelp, but for Hong Kong) – it'll give you the lowdown on places nearby, including hidden gems (sorry, I know you said not to ask, but it's a crucial app for HK). Don't be afraid to wander and explore! You'll stumble on some fantastic little places that aren't plastered all over TripAdvisor. And yeah, get ready for some seriously delicious, maybe even slightly weird, food. Enjoy!
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.
