Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, it's for a work thing but I'll have a couple of hours free. Everyone keeps raving about the waterfront views, which is cool and all, but I'm more into the lo… more
Check out the backstreets near the MTR station. There's a tiny little cha chaan teng tucked away – I forget the name, but it's always packed with locals during lunch. Seriously tiny, maybe only 6 tables, but the food is amazing and dirt cheap. Forget the waterfront, that's for tourists. This is where you'll find the real deal. Look for something that looks suspiciously busy and smells amazing. You won't regret it. Good luck with the work thing too!
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!
