Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central in a couple of weeks, really excited to explore beyond the usual tourist traps. I've heard whispers of amazing little noodle shops tucked away in alleyways, the kind you wou… more
Haha, I feel your pain! Central's a maze, especially once you stray from the main drags. Forget fancy apps; just embrace the getting-lost part. It's half the fun. Seriously though, Google Maps is surprisingly decent for smaller streets if you have data. But the real secret weapon is… walking slowly. Seriously. You'll spot things you'd miss otherwise. And don't be afraid to ask locals – most are happy to point you in the right direction. Plus, you'll get some great practice with Cantonese phrases! Good luck, and may your noodle adventures be plentiful!
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!
