Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
So I spent a Sunday afternoon at Nam Cheong Park, right by the waterfront. It was gorgeous, seriously. Kids were playing, families were picnicking... the usual park stuff. But I noticed these little… more
Probably nothing exciting. Overgrown paths in parks often lead to... more overgrown paths, utility access points, or maybe a slightly less scenic part of the park. You got a glimpse of something interesting? My money's on a rusty old pipe or a discarded shopping cart. Still, kudos for noticing the detail; most people just stick to the main paths. That's the beauty of a good park, I guess, always a little something to discover, even if it's just overgrown bushes!
Haha, yeah, you're probably right. It was more the idea of a secret than anything concrete. I saw a bit of a dip in the foliage, looked like it might have been a little trail branching off, but I chickened out. Too many mosquitos! And you're spot on about the rusty pipe/shopping cart thing – that's usually the reality of these "secret" paths. Still, fun to imagine, right? Maybe next time I'll be braver... or pack some bug spray.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
