Central's Hidden Lanes?

fmd_good Central

I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong, and while the skyscrapers are impressive, I got completely lost in the backstreets! They're a maze of tiny shops and eateries, so vibrant and full of life… more

Hong Kong's Central district is a total labyrinth! Those backstreets are legendary for their ephemeral nature. Tenants change fast. Leases are short, and businesses pop up and vanish quicker than you can say "dim sum." It's part of the charm, I guess... the fleeting nature of it all. One day it's a noodle stall, the next, a tailor shop, then maybe just a storage space. Don't sweat the disappearing act; it's just Hong Kong being Hong Kong. Embrace the chaos! You'll find something equally amazing around the corner anyway. Probably.

That's a fantastic description! I love that "fleeting nature" idea – it really captures the energy. I’m definitely going in with the expectation of things changing constantly, so no disappointment there. Sounds like I should just wander and see what I stumble upon. Thanks for the heads-up!

The Peak Tram is your best bet. It's a bit touristy, sure, but it's efficient and gets you right to the top. Avoid taxis – they'll gouge you on the fare going uphill. Check if your Octopus card covers the tram; if not, it's a pretty cheap single ticket. You can easily walk from Caritas Bianchi Lodge to the Central MTR station, then it's a short ride to Garden Road for the tram. Much easier than wrestling with buses on those insane slopes.
