Nam Cheong Park Birdlife

I'm heading to Nam Cheong Park in a few weeks – spent ages looking at photos, it looks amazing. Seriously considering bringing my binoculars, hoping to spot some of the migratory birds they say freq… more

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.

Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!

That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
