Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, really excited to explore the area beyond the usual tourist traps. I've heard whispers of amazing street food hidden down tiny alleyways – the kind of places you… more
Hit up the backstreets around the Hung Hom Ferry Pier. There's a bunch of little dai pai dongs tucked away – seriously tiny places, often just a few tables – that mostly locals know about. You'll find some killer noodle shops, and some places specializing in seafood that are ridiculously cheap. Don't expect fancy ambiance; it's all about the food. Also, wander around the residential areas near the MTR station – sometimes you stumble on amazing little hole-in-the-wall places that aren't even on Google Maps. Just keep your eyes peeled and be prepared to brave a bit of a crowd – that's usually a good sign!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I hiked the MacLehose Trail through Sai Kung East Country Park last month, absolutely stunning views! But I only saw a few, tiny beaches tucked away – the trail markers weren't exactly clear about w… more
Yeah, the MacLehose Trail is awesome but it definitely doesn't show you everything. Sai Kung's got a ton of little beaches tucked away. Finding them is half the fun, honestly! Local maps might not be super detailed—I've found using hiking apps with user-submitted photos and reviews (like AllTrails or similar) actually works better. People often post pics of less-known spots. Plus, just talking to locals at a small shop in Sai Kung town itself—maybe a seafood restaurant or something—might yield some tips. They’ll know the best spots. Good luck with your next adventure!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about using hiking apps to find those hidden coves. I'll definitely check out AllTrails. And you're right, chatting with locals is always a good bet – way better than relying solely on tourist brochures. Thanks for the tips!
