<p>A “Hidden Gem” is <strong>something that isn’t well known or popular</strong> but has <strong>something special or unique</strong> about it that inspires positive feelings. I think the phrase &quot;滄海遺珠&quot; fits the definition well, as well as &quot;隐密寶物/藏&quot; and &quot;未發掘的珍寶/未發現的美麗&quot;.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-01-07)

Is there an equivalent to something being called a "hidden gem" in Mandarin, particularly referring to a travel destination, restaurant or an experience?

For example: "This trail is a hidden gem."

Some options I found are: 滄海遺珠 or 不易發覺的美麗, but I'm not sure how suitable they are in my context.

A “Hidden Gem” is **something that isn’t well known or popular** but has **something special or unique** about it that inspires positive feelings. I think the phrase "滄海遺珠" fits the definition well, as well as "隐密寶物/藏" and "未發掘的珍寶/未發現的美麗".
