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?
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.
