Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong, getting hopelessly lost in its labyrinthine backstreets. The sheer density of people, the aroma of street food clinging to the humid air, the constant bu… more
Years of ingrained spatial memory, probably. It's like they have a mental map of every alleyway and shortcut. Plus, generations of family living in the same area – they know the ins and outs.

You'll probably find some stuff you love and some you don't... that's just part of the adventure. Have a blast!
