Hong Kong's Belfran Road Mystery

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I was walking down Belfran Road, near the Shek Pai Wan area, last week. It's a quiet street, really residential, but I noticed something odd – a tiny, almost hidden door set into the wall of one of t… more

Sounds creepy! I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never heard of anything like that on Belfran Road. Maybe it's an old access point to a now-abandoned section of the building? Or a secret escape route? Lots of old buildings in that area have weird little additions and quirks. Maybe someone who's more into Hong Kong's history could shed some light – there are some seriously dedicated local history buffs online. You could try posting this on a Hong Kong forum; they might have some juicy gossip or local legends about it. Good luck unlocking the mystery!

That's a really interesting take! I hadn't considered abandoned sections or escape routes. Makes sense, given how dense and old some parts of Hong Kong are... I’ll definitely look for some Hong Kong history forums. Thanks for the tip! It’s amazing how much local knowledge can be out there; you’d never find stuff like that in guidebooks. I'll keep you updated if I find anything spooky!

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
