Central's Hidden Laneways?
So I'm heading to Central next week, buzzing to finally explore Hong Kong Island properly. I've seen all the pics of the skyscrapers and the harbour, but I'm really hoping to stumble upon some seriou… more
Central's got some amazing tucked-away spots. Forget the main streets; wander around Hollywood Road – it's packed with antique shops, but peek down the side streets. You'll find tiny cafes and art galleries you wouldn't believe. Also, check out the area around Man Mo Temple; the lanes behind it are seriously atmospheric, and you can stumble on some great little eateries. Don't be afraid to just get lost – that's half the fun! It's easy to spend hours just exploring those little alleys. Honestly, you'll find way cooler stuff than anything in a tourist guide.
Wow, that sounds incredible! Hollywood Road and the Man Mo Temple area – I'd never have thought of that. Getting lost sounds like exactly the kind of adventure I'm looking for. Thanks for the detailed tips; I'm definitely going to prioritize those areas. I'm already picturing myself stumbling upon some seriously cool hidden gems... Maybe I'll even find a killer street food stall!
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!
