Updated review about this little open public space. Apparently I had overlooked the upper part of the park, and to add to the fact that I visited here at day time the first time, it felt different. The other night I randomly saw people walking into a back alley at the middle of Peel Street. Out of my curiosity, «yeah why would people go into there?» Well, it’s Soho right(or, Noho, ’cause it’s right beneath Hollywood Road.)? So the answer is obvious, they were there for drinks. I followed them into the back alley. Boom. What? I mean, DAMN, I should have known it! So while I know that perfectly well Pak Tsz Lane is a one of the rare, remaining spot in Hong Kong surrounded by four walls of buildings without direct road access, I didn’t realized it’s that big. It’s right there on the map but I never checked. So one side of Pak Tsz Lane Park is on Gage Street, and the three other sides are Peel Street, Hollywood, and Aberdeen Street. Yes, it meant it sits right in the middle of actions, but is also protected by the buildings. There you’d find 3 bars and one restaurant(that I have never noticed, not even the first time I visited here), and they are quite isolated from the rest of the Soho/Noho usual suspects. And that makes me wonder… Soho is the place I hang out so often already, and there are still places I haven’t explored. How much of this lovely city I haven’t discovered yet?
