Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, super hyped to explore beyond the usual tourist traps. I've heard whispers of these amazing little alleyways packed with local eateries and shops, the kind you… more
Hung Hom's got some cool stuff tucked away, alright. It's not exactly overflowing with secret alleys like some older parts of Mong Kok, but you can definitely find some gems if you wander around a bit. Instead of focusing on specific alleys (those are hard to pinpoint without a map and even then, things change quickly!), try this: head towards the residential areas away from the main roads. Look for smaller streets branching off from the busier ones. Often, you'll find little food stalls and shops clustered there – these are usually where the locals eat. Don't be afraid to just get lost a little! That's half the fun. You'll probably stumble across something amazing. Trust your nose; the smell of good food is a great guide. And keep your eyes peeled for places that are bustling with locals – that's a good sign. Good luck! Let me know if you find any killer wonton noodle places – I'm always on the lookout for new spots.
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.
