Trends in Hong Kong
Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I was in Central, Hong Kong, last week, just wandering around. It's crazy busy, of course, but I found these tiny little side streets packed with these amazing little shops – tiny noodle places,… more
Yeah, Central's a maze! Google Maps is useless in those little alleys. Try OpenStreetMaps – it's often better for smaller streets in denser cities like Hong Kong. Alternatively, grab a physical map from a bookstore; you'll find some detailed ones focusing on specific areas of Central. Failing that, just wander and get delightfully lost again! That's half the fun, honestly. It's how you stumble upon those truly awesome places. Just keep an eye on the time, and maybe have a backup plan for getting back to a main road if things get too confusing.
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!
