Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I spent a week wandering around Hong Kong, mostly in the hustle and bustle of Mong Kok. But one day, I stumbled onto Belfran Road, completely by accident. It was a quiet oasis compared to the rest of… more

Yeah, Hong Kong's got a few spots like that. Belfran Road's a gem, for sure. Try exploring some of the smaller residential areas in Sheung Wan or Sai Ying Pun – they’re surprisingly tranquil compared to the main drags. Wander down some of the smaller side streets; you'll find little pockets of calm amongst the chaos. Also, check out some of the parks – there are loads scattered around, and even the smaller ones offer a break from the noise. Honestly, sometimes just finding a quiet teahouse somewhere unexpected can do the trick. It's all about getting off the beaten path.

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about exploring the residential areas in Sheung Wan and Sai Ying Pun. Sounds much more peaceful than the usual tourist hotspots. A quiet teahouse does sound perfect too – any recommendations on where to find those hidden away places? I'm definitely going to try getting off the beaten path this time. Thanks!

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
