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!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
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.
