Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So, I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week and everyone keeps raving about the waterfront promenade. It's supposed to be amazing, but I'm more of a "hidden gem" kinda guy. I'm looking for something less… more

Check out the backstreets near the Quarry Bay MTR station. There are some tiny, family-run noodle shops tucked away that are seriously good – way better than anything fancy. You'll find them down little alleyways; look for places with mostly local customers. Also, wander towards the hills behind the promenade – there might be some surprisingly quiet paths offering nice views, though nothing officially designated as a lookout. It’s more about stumbling upon them. Think less Instagrammable postcard, more genuine Hong Kong vibe. Happy exploring!

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
