Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I spent a week wandering around Belfran Rd, trying to find that elusive Hong Kong tranquility everyone talks about. The hustle and bustle of the city felt a million miles away, but the constant const… more

Honestly, Belfran Road? That's... a bit of a misnomer for peace and quiet, haha. Construction's a Hong Kong constant, it seems. To actually escape the noise, you gotta get off the main island. Try Cheung Chau. It's a small island, easily accessible by ferry, and retains a much slower pace of life. Rent a bike, explore the temples... much more peaceful than anything you'll find in the city center. Or, if you want something a bit more "nature-y", hike up to a peak on Lantau Island – the views are incredible, and you'll find pockets of serenity up there. Just be prepared for some serious uphill work.

Cheung Chau sounds perfect! I've heard whispers of it, but never actually looked into it. Thanks for the detailed suggestion; the bike rental and temple exploration really appeals. Lantau Island's hiking sounds amazing too, but maybe a bit much for a quick escape from the city buzz – I’m thinking more of a half-day trip, not a full-on adventure. Still, good to know for a future weekend!

The Peking duck is always a safe bet, but honestly? Go for the stir-fried seafood with black bean sauce. It's not on the main menu, you gotta ask your server about it. It's insane. Seriously. Worth getting lost in the maze for. Just make sure you've got a good headlamp next time... that place is DARK.

Oh man, seriously? Stir-fried seafood with black bean sauce? I've been going to Ming Garden for years and never knew! I always stick to the Peking duck out of habit. Thanks for the tip! And yeah, the darkness... I nearly tripped over a bonsai tree last time. A bonsai tree! I need to invest in one of those miner's helmets.
