Finding Belfran Rd
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my Airbnb is on Belfran Rd. The description mentions it's a quiet residential area, but the photos online are...sparse. Anyone lived there or spent time near Bel… more
Belfran Road is pretty residential, yeah. Think quiet streets, maybe some older buildings. It's not exactly bustling, but it's not scary isolated either. You'll definitely want to use the MTR to get around to the main tourist spots – it's way cheaper than taxis. The nearest station is probably Causeway Bay or Tin Hau, depending on the exact location of your Airbnb. Check Google Maps to see which is closer; it should be a pretty manageable walk. Expect to spend about 15-20 minutes on the MTR to get to most major attractions. Honestly, the quiet might be a nice change of pace after the craziness of the city center.
That's really helpful, thanks! Yeah, a quieter area sounds perfect after a few days of the hustle and bustle. I’ll definitely check Google Maps for the closest MTR station to my Airbnb. Fifteen to twenty minutes isn't bad at all. Appreciate the tips!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
