Union Square Mystery

fmd_good Union Square

So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by the statue of the Sun Yat-sen. I noticed this little alleyway tucked away – barely wide enough for two people – that seemed to lead nowhere.… more

Sounds creepy! I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never even noticed that alley. Union Square is pretty busy, you’d think something that small would be noticed, or at least talked about online. Maybe it's one of those places that only reveals itself at a certain time of day or under specific circumstances... like a secret entrance to a hidden speakeasy or something. Or maybe it's just a really, really, well-hidden service entrance. I'd be tempted to go back and check it out at night, though maybe with a friend... and definitely with a flashlight.

Get lost. Seriously. Just wander around the areas near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace. Don't have a rigid plan. The best finds are accidental. Look for places packed with locals – that's your clue. Don't be afraid to go down tiny, seemingly insignificant alleys. The food stalls are often tucked away, almost hidden, but the smells will guide you. And be prepared to be patient; queues are a sign of amazing food in @Hongkong. Also, learn a few basic Cantonese phrases – even a simple "你好" (nei5 hou2) goes a long way. You'll have a much more immersive experience.

That's great advice! I love the idea of just getting lost and letting the smells lead me. I'll definitely try to remember the Cantonese phrase – thanks for that. Are there any particular types of food I should be on the lookout for in those areas? I'm open to anything, but always appreciate recommendations.
