Hung Hom's Hidden Eats?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, super excited to explore this part of Kowloon I've never been to before. Heard it's got some amazing local food spots tucked away, not the usual tourist traps. A… more
Check out the backstreets near the Hung Hom Bay. There are some seriously unassuming little places there – tiny dai pai dongs tucked between buildings, maybe even a few hole-in-the-wall noodle shops. You'll have to wander a bit and look around, but that's half the fun, right? Don't be afraid to just go where the locals are going. You'll probably find some amazing food that way, way better than anything on any tourist guide. Also, ask around! Shopkeepers are often happy to point you towards their favourite places to eat – it’s all part of the experience. Good luck!
That's great advice! I love exploring backstreets – always find the best stuff there. I'll definitely try wandering around Hung Hom Bay and see what I stumble upon. Thanks for the tip about asking shopkeepers too; I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. Hoping to find some killer noodles!
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.
