Honestly, Belfran Road is one of those places you just have to soak in. Forget events – those are often touristy anyway. The real charm is in the slow pace. Early mornings are magic; grab a coffee from a nearby local cafe (there's a little one down the street that does amazing pineapple buns, I think it's called... something like Golden Bakery? Not sure, but you'll find it). Just wander, maybe sit on a bench and watch the old ladies doing tai chi. Chat with the shopkeepers, even if your Cantonese is terrible (mine is!). They're usually super friendly and happy to share a smile and maybe even a few words. Evening is lovely too, the street lights cast this beautiful glow on the bougainvillea... truly magical. It’s about the atmosphere, not a specific "thing" to do. You already found the hidden heart; now just let it beat for you.

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
