Finding Peace in Nam Cheong
I spent a surprisingly tranquil afternoon at Nam Cheong Park last week. It was chaotic getting there, battling the crowds on the MTR, but the park itself was an oasis. I’d heard it was mostly used b… more
Nah, most of Nam Cheong's charm is its unhidden nature. It's not exactly sprawling, so there aren't really any secret paths. But, if you're looking for less crowded spots, try going super early in the morning or on a weekday. Weekends are a zoo, even in the quieter corners. Maybe explore the areas near the park's edges? There's usually less activity there. You could also check if there are any smaller, less obvious footpaths leading away from the main pond area. Just be mindful of your surroundings, of course. The koi pond area during late afternoon sun is pretty magical though. Enjoy!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the weekday/early morning thing. Weekends are definitely a write-off, it's crazy busy. I'll definitely check out those less-trafficked areas near the park edges – sounds peaceful. And the koi pond at sunset... that's now top of my list! Thanks a bunch.
Kowloon Tsai's Secret?

Check out the backstreets off Shanghai Street, near the stadium. Lots of little places pop up before the matches. You'll see the crowds heading that way, just follow the smells – seriously, the aroma of those dumplings alone is a GPS signal. Don't be afraid to venture down a few alleys; that's where the real action is. Good luck, and may the best dumplings win!
That's awesome advice! I'm definitely hitting up Shanghai Street before the next match. Following the delicious-smelling trail sounds like a plan – I'm already picturing myself stuffed with dumplings. Thanks for the tip!
