Quarry Bay's hidden gems?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a business trip, staying near the waterfront. Everyone keeps raving about the food scene but says it's a bit of a maze to navigate – it's like, you've got the… more
Check out the dai pai dongs near the waterfront – they’re usually pretty easy to spot. Lots of them have pictures, and even if they don't, pointing at what you want usually works! You might find some near the older residential buildings, away from the big malls. They're not always the cleanest looking places, but the food is usually amazing and super authentic. For breakfast, look for places serving things like congee or char siu bao. Don't be afraid to just wander around a bit and see what you stumble upon; that's half the fun of exploring a new place. Good luck with your trip!
That's great advice! I love the idea of just wandering and stumbling upon things. Dai pai dongs sound amazing – I'll definitely prioritize finding those. Thanks for the breakfast suggestions too, congee sounds perfect. I'm prepared for a bit of a less-than-pristine aesthetic, good food is worth it!
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!
