Union Square's Vibe?

fmd_good Union Square

So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, it's my first time in Hong Kong and everyone keeps saying how buzzing it is. But I'm more of a chill vibe person. Is there a quiet corner, a little le… more

Yeah, Union Square can be a total whirlwind. Finding a quiet spot for coffee and people-watching there is tricky, it's usually pretty packed. But if you wander a few blocks west, towards Hollywood Road, you'll find some smaller cafes tucked away in the side streets. The area has more of a local feel, less touristy. You might get lucky and stumble onto a traditional cha chaan teng – those are always a good bet for a more authentic and less frantic Hong Kong experience. They're often quieter than the big cafes in Union Square itself. Just be prepared to navigate some narrow streets!

That's great advice! Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely trying to avoid the crazy crowds. Thanks for the cha chaan teng tip; I’ve heard about those but never actually been to one. Narrow streets don't bother me, I kinda like that kind of exploring. Appreciate the help!

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
