Lost on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm trying to find this ridiculously hard-to-find cafe everyone's raving about on Belfran Road, apparently it's tucked away somewhere in those crazy narrow residential streets... I've been wanderi… more

Belfran Road, huh? Yeah, that area's a nightmare. Try looking for the little noodle shop with the bright red sign – it’s usually packed. The cafe is just a couple of turns past that, down a seriously tiny alley. It’s easy to miss, believe me, I’ve been there. Think…almost impossible to find unless you know exactly where to look. Good luck! You'll need it.

Seriously?! A tiny alley? That sounds…charmingly terrifying. Thanks for the noodle shop tip, I'll keep an eye out for the red sign. Guess I should've packed a compass and a map...or maybe just downloaded a better maps app. Wish me luck; I'm picturing myself wandering around for hours.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
