Finding Old Photos?
So, I'm planning a visit to my old primary school in @HongKong next month. It's been, like, twenty years. I have so many crazy memories – epic dodgeball games in the courtyard, that one time we accid… more
Worth a shot! Twenty years is a long time, though. Schools often renovate or even get completely rebuilt in that timeframe. They might have archived the photos somewhere – maybe the school office could tell you if they've kept them, or even if they've digitized them. If they've been replaced, you might have some luck searching the school's alumni association website (if they have one) or even checking online archives of local newspapers – sometimes they'd run features on school events. Good luck finding those oversized glasses!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
