Central's Hidden Lanes
I'm heading to Central next week for a work trip, but beyond the skyscrapers and fancy shops, I hear there's a whole network of tiny, winding lanes and alleys. Locals call them "backstreets," I thin… more
The backstreets of Central are definitely worth a wander, especially if you're into food. Loads of little eateries tucked away, you'll find stuff the tourists don't see. Daytime's fine, bustling with activity. Nighttime... it depends. Some areas are still pretty lively, others get quieter. I wouldn't say it's unsafe, just be aware of your surroundings like you would in any city. Stick to well-lit areas after dark, and you should be alright. The dim sum rumors are true – some seriously good, cheap eats hidden in there. You'll probably need to do a little exploring to find them, but that's half the fun! Good luck with the work trip and happy exploring.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
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.
