Quarry Bay Mysteries?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, spent ages looking at pictures online and it looks…intense. Seriously, the juxtaposition of skyscrapers and the old fishing village feel is kinda jarring from… more

It's a pretty wild mix, that's for sure. You'll find pockets of the old fishing village vibe tucked away – think quieter side streets near the waterfront, maybe some dai pai dongs (if you're lucky, they're getting rarer!), and definitely smaller local restaurants serving up amazing, affordable food that aren't plastered all over Instagram. The high-rises are mostly concentrated around the main streets and the MTR station, so venturing a little off the beaten path will help. Don't expect a pristine, perfectly preserved old town; it's more of a layered history, with modern buildings rising right next to older, more humble ones. The community feel is there, but it's woven into the fabric of the everyday hustle and bustle. Check out some of the smaller residential streets branching off from the main roads; you might find some surprisingly quiet and charming spots. You'll definitely have to explore to find them though!

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
