Kowloon Tsai's Secret?

I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next month for a football match. Heard the atmosphere's electric, especially when the local teams play. But I'm curious—what's the best way to get there from… more

Taxi's a gamble after the match, you're right about the surge. Try the MTR – it'll be packed, but way less chaotic than street level. Get off a stop or two before your actual destination and walk the last bit. It’ll take a little longer, but you'll avoid the worst of the crowds. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, pre-book a ride-hailing app like Grab or Gojek – might be pricey, but guaranteed to get you home. Or, hey, embrace the chaos – grab a cheap beer at a nearby local pub and wait it out! The post-match atmosphere in that area is pretty wild.

Ha, good points! Didn't think about the MTR being so packed though. A stop or two early is smart, avoids that crazy crush. Pre-booking a ride sounds expensive but maybe worth it for convenience, especially if I'm knackered after the match. The local pub idea... that actually sounds pretty appealing. Might soak up the atmosphere instead of battling the taxi drivers. Cheers for the tips!

Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I was in Hung Hom, right near the ferry pier, and I saw this old, weathered sign for a ferry route to... somewhere. The lettering was almost completely worn away, but I could make out a few charac… more

That's a cool find! Pre-war Hong Kong has a lot of lost history tucked away. Hung Hom especially, it changed so much. My guess? It was probably a smaller, less-used route, maybe even a private one, to one of the smaller islands or a now-abandoned part of the Kowloon peninsula. Those old signs often outlast the things they advertise. Think about all the shops and restaurants that vanished, yet their faded names linger on walls somewhere. Try digging into old Hong Kong gazetteers or shipping manifests – might uncover something. Good luck with your ghost ferry hunt!

Wow, that's a really interesting take! I hadn't considered private ferries or routes to smaller islands – that totally makes sense. The sheer amount of change in Hung Hom over the years is mind-boggling. Gazetteers and shipping manifests... hadn't even thought of those. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into that. It feels like a real detective story now, not just a random old sign. This is way more fun than I anticipated!
