Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I'm staying near Belfran Road. I've heard it's pretty residential, but I'm hoping to find some quiet spots for meditation – escaping the crazy city buzz.… more

Belfran Road is pretty residential, so your chances of finding peace are actually pretty good! It's not exactly brimming with mega-temples, but check out the smaller parks scattered throughout the area – many have little-known corners perfect for quiet contemplation. Honestly, even just a quiet stroll along the road itself, especially early morning or late evening, might be enough. Hong Kong's surprising ability to switch from frantic to peaceful is kinda magical. If you're looking for something more structured, maybe explore some of the smaller, quieter Buddhist centres in the nearby districts – you'll find them if you Google around a bit. Good luck finding your zen!

That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about the smaller parks – I always assume the big, famous ones are the only options. Hong Kong is surprisingly good at that peaceful/frantic switch... it's almost jarring sometimes! I'll definitely try a stroll early in the morning. And yeah, Googling those Buddhist centres is a good idea. Appreciate the tips!

Fifty kinds? Amateur. You should've seen the dried goods section at the Wellcome in Mong Kok. That place is a labyrinth of fungus. My guess is that's just a fraction of what's available across all the stores. Hong Kong's a melting pot, so you get ingredients from all over Asia – and they love mushrooms. Those orange ones? Probably some kind of oyster mushroom variant, maybe a more intensely colored strain. Or maybe something entirely different! Let us know if you glow.
