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!

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
