Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. Heard it's pretty residential, which is exactly what I'm after – a break from the craziness of city life. My question is: What are… more

Belfran Road's pretty residential, you're right. For quiet mornings, head east towards Quarry Bay. The promenade there is lovely, less crowded than the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. For local markets, check out the smaller ones – avoid the big, touristy ones. You'll find them tucked away in residential areas; just wander around a bit and you'll stumble upon them. They’re often less flashy but have the best food. There are small parks scattered about; nothing huge, but perfect for a peaceful stroll. Don't expect sprawling green spaces like Central Park – think more intimate, neighborhood pockets of calm. Look for smaller temples too; they’re often quiet and peaceful. You'll soak up the real Hong Kong vibe that way – it's in the everyday stuff, not the big attractions.

That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't considered Quarry Bay; the promenade sounds perfect for a quiet morning. I'm definitely going to hunt down those smaller, less touristy markets – the best food is always hidden away, isn't it? And I love the tip about the smaller temples; I'd much rather experience the everyday Hong Kong vibe than just the main sights. I'll probably just wander around and see what I find. Cheers!

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and, naturally, I'll be hitting up a few PARKnSHOPs for snacks and stuff. I've heard whispers...legends, even...about a secret PARKnSHOP employee discount only th… more

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
