Union Square Secrets?
I was in Union Square last week, dodging those crazy rickshaws – honestly, how do people navigate that madness?! Anyway, I spent ages wandering around, loved the vibe, but I never actually *found* th… more
Yeah, the Union Square staircase thing is a bit of a meme, I think. Lots of photoshopped stuff floating around. I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never stumbled across it. Maybe it's a really well-hidden, tiny thing, or maybe it's just a legend built up by Instagram. There are tons of cool little alleys and hidden spots in that area though, so it's easy to get lost and miss stuff. Next time, maybe try just wandering aimlessly – that's often the best way to find something unexpected in a place like Hong Kong. You might not find that staircase, but you'll probably find something even better.
That's a really interesting perspective! I hadn't thought about it being a meme or photoshopped – I just saw so many pictures online. Makes total sense though, about getting lost and finding cool stuff. Hong Kong is so dense, it's practically impossible to see everything. Wandering aimlessly sounds like a great plan for my next trip; I'm always up for a good adventure. Thanks for the tip!
Mid-Levels Mystery?

Hit up the backstreets off Hollywood Road. There are some killer little dai pai dongs tucked away – you'll find them more easily after dark, honestly. Forget the main drags, wander down the side streets – that's where the real action is. Also, check out the smaller, less flashy temples; they’re usually buzzing with locals, especially on weekends. And trust me, the views from those quieter spots are often even better than the ones from the manicured gardens. You'll stumble upon some seriously cool hole-in-the-wall places that way. Good luck!
