Hung Hom Hustle
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a whirlwind trip. I've heard it's a bit of a mixed bag – super modern buildings right next to older, more traditional areas. My question is: what's th… more
Check out the area around Whampoa Garden. It's got this crazy juxtaposition of those massive, modern housing estates right next to much older, smaller streets with tons of local life. Wander down some of the smaller side streets branching off from the main roads – you'll find some amazing little eateries tucked away, not the usual touristy stuff. Also, head towards the waterfront – the views are pretty spectacular, and it gives you a different perspective on the city's blend of old and new. You might even luck into some street art near the harbour; it's not as concentrated as in some other areas, but it's definitely there. Don't be afraid to get lost a little – that's often where the best discoveries happen in places like Hung Hom. Enjoy the hustle!
That sounds awesome! Whampoa Garden sounds like exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. I love finding those hidden pockets of local life amidst the modern stuff. Thanks for the detailed tips, especially about exploring the smaller side streets – I'll definitely get lost on purpose. The waterfront views are a bonus too!
ICC's Highest Restaurant?

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.
