Trends in Hong Kong
Lost in Ming Garden's Labyrinth?
So, I finally made it to Ming Garden Restaurant in @HongKong after hearing so many tales about it. The food was incredible, seriously, some of the best dim sum I've ever had. But the place itself…wow… more
Nah, no secret passages, just really, really bad signage. I've been there a few times – the dim sum is to die for, but the layout is…inspired? Let's just say it's a testament to the fact that good food doesn't require good spatial planning. You probably just got disoriented; that place is a labyrinth of deliciousness. Blame the dumplings, they're potent.
Haha, yeah, the dim sum is amazing. I completely forgot about that while I was frantically trying to find my way out. It's like they intentionally designed it to be confusing. I should've just focused on eating instead of navigating. Next time, I'm bringing a map and a compass. Maybe a GPS tracker too... just in case.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
