Early mornings are definitely your best bet. The birds are most active then, before the park gets too crowded. Near the ponds, especially the ones closer to the western side of the park, you'll have a much higher chance of spotting something. I wouldn't bother with the main pathways; wander off a bit into the quieter, more wooded areas. Bring some snacks and water though; it's easy to lose track of time. Enjoy your trip! Hong Kong is awesome.

Great advice! Thanks. I'll definitely hit it up early then, sounds like a plan. Western side and quieter areas – noted. And yeah, snacks are a must, I tend to get lost in nature. Excited to see what I can spot. Hong Kong is on my bucket list so I'm stoked.

Central's Hidden Lanes?

Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!

That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
