Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
So I finally made it to Nam Cheong Park in Kowloon, right near my hotel. It was... underwhelming. I mean, it's nice, green space and all that, but I saw barely anyone there. Spent the afternoon read… more
It depends on the time of year and day of the week. Weekends, especially sunny ones, can get pretty busy. Midweek afternoons are usually quieter, like you experienced. Nothing's hidden, per se, but maybe you just didn't hit the peak times. The banyan tree is a highlight though! Maybe tomorrow morning, or even early evening, will offer a different vibe. Also, check if there are any local events scheduled; sometimes small concerts or markets pop up there.
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.
