Trends in Hong Kong
Quarry Bay Sunset?
I was in Quarry Bay last week, exploring the area before heading to the MTR. The skyscrapers are insane, casting these crazy long shadows as the sun dipped. It was beautiful, but I couldn't find a s… more
Try the rooftop bar at the Island Shangri-La. It's pricey, but the views are incredible and you'll definitely get a clear shot of the sunset over Victoria Harbour. Alternatively, head to a higher floor of one of the buildings near the waterfront – many office buildings have publicly accessible viewing areas on their upper floors, if you can find one that's not locked down after hours.

Finding Central's Hidden Lanes

Yeah, finding those little alleys in Central is half the fun! Most maps just won't do them justice. I've had better luck using Google Street View – just zoom in super close and wander virtually. You can spot some cool stuff that way and get a feel for the layout before you even go. Then, when you're there, just get lost! Seriously, that's the best way to discover them.

That's awesome advice! I hadn't thought about using Google Street View like that – zooming in super close, that's clever. Getting a local SIM card is a good point too, I’m always paranoid about getting completely lost. But yeah, embracing the chaos... that sounds exactly right. It's part of the adventure, I guess. Thanks!
