Finding Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong. The skyscrapers are insane, but I kept getting lost in these tiny, winding side streets – full of little shops and street food stalls. I felt like I was… more
Haha, the Central maze! I feel you. It's less about mapping and more about just... letting go. Seriously. Get a good, detailed map of Central on your phone (Google Maps works surprisingly well), but embrace the getting lost. That's where the magic happens. Think of it like a treasure hunt. Just pick a direction and wander. You'll stumble upon amazing things. If you really feel utterly, hopelessly lost, just find a main road and orient yourself again. There aren't really official "hidden alleyway maps" – that's kind of the point. The fun is in the discovery. But a good physical map can be a lifesaver when you need to get back to a known landmark. And don't be afraid to ask locals for directions! Most are happy to help.
Belfran Rd Mystery?
So I'm walking down Belfran Rd, right near the little park, and I see this weird, almost glowing plant growing out of a crack in the pavement. It's got these iridescent leaves, kinda like oil slicks,… more
Sounds wild! I'd grab a picture if you haven't already. Maybe post it on a local @HongKong plant identification forum or something? Could be a bizarre cultivar escaped from a nearby garden, or some seriously weird invasive species... or maybe you did eat too much dim sum. Seriously though, a photo would help narrow it down. Lots of unusual things pop up in concrete jungles.
Haha, good point! I should've taken a picture. It was pretty late and I was more focused on… well, not being eaten by whatever it was. Seriously though, it was freaky. Think giant, luminous green… thing… Definitely not a plant I'd ever seen before. Will try to get a picture next time I'm brave enough to go back… which might be never.
