Hong Kong Hidden Gem Guide

Welcome to the official page for the Hong Kong Hidden Gem Guide!! This guide shares over 100 quirky shops and spots for locals and tourists who want to see Hong Kong in a new way!

My name is Riyah, and I was raised and spent my entire life in Hong Kong except for when I went abroad to study. After graduating, I returned with a callous attitude toward the city, feeling that Hong Kong was... boring. Yes, I know.

I started @notbadgalriri__ as a way to fall in love with this town, and I've gone through many content phases. These include the Hong Kong bucket list, my teacher lifestyle phase, and, for the last few years, discovering hidden/local/unique gems of Hong Kong.

This city has way more to offer and explore than I initially thought. After spending two years collecting all these hidden gems, I realised the need to create a guide to make it convenient to explore all the gatekept places I'd found.

So without further ado, here is the guide that you've all been waiting for...!

What's in the guide:

1. Local insider tips
2. Must have apps
3. Kowloon and Island Hidden Gems
4. Little bit of History
5. Featured Hong Kong creators & their hidden gems
