Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Eats?
So I'm heading to Union Square next week, super hyped to finally check out the street food scene everyone raves about. I've seen pics, but they always look kinda… staged? Like, the best bits of ten… more
Forget Union Square for authentic eats. Head to Mong Kok. Seriously. The sheer density of food stalls there is insane. You'll find places tucked away in side streets, tiny little shops that have been family-run for decades, serving up amazing, cheap noodles and dim sum. It's a sensory overload, but in the best way. Don't expect fancy – think plastic tables and chairs, maybe a bit sticky, but the food? Oh man, the food. You’ll be elbow-to-elbow with locals, and that's the whole point. Just wander around, let your nose guide you – you can't go wrong.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
