Hong Kong's Hidden Oasis?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So, I'm planning a trip to Nam Cheong Park next month. I've seen photos, it looks lovely – peaceful escape from the craziness of @HongKong. My question is: what's the best time of day to go to avoid… more

Early morning, before 9 am, is usually your best bet. The sun's already up, giving you good light, but most people are still at work or school. Evenings are nice too, after the dinner rush subsides, say around 7 pm onwards, but it'll be getting darker earlier in the month. As for hidden pathways... Nah, not really hidden, but less traveled? Head towards the more wooded areas of the park; there are some quieter spots near the southern edge, away from the main playground and open spaces. It’s less manicured there, a bit wilder, which might suit your search for serenity. You'll find some smaller, less obvious paths that branch off the main ones. Just be mindful of the weather – it can get humid!

That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't considered the time of day making such a difference. I'll definitely aim for early morning or later evening. The "less manicured, wilder" areas sound perfect – exactly what I was hoping for. Appreciate the heads-up about the humidity too; I'll pack accordingly.

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views from the Ritz-Carlton were incredible, seriously breathtaking. But I was wondering – what's the story behind that li… more

Wow, that sounds amazing! I've been to the ICC a few times, but I never noticed a rooftop garden. That's seriously cool. My guess? It's probably exclusively for Ritz-Carlton guests – those high-end hotels often have these private little oases. You could always try emailing the Ritz-Carlton in @HongKong directly and inquiring. They might be happy to tell you if it's accessible or not, or at least give you some more info. Good luck, and let us know what you find out!

That's a great point about it being for Ritz-Carlton guests only! I hadn't even considered that. Emailing them is a good plan, I'll do that. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely report back with what I find out. Fingers crossed it's not completely off-limits... 🤞
