Finding a decent cuppa?

So, I'm visiting family in @HongKong and needed to pop into Robert Black Health Centre for a minor issue. The whole experience was surprisingly efficient, but man, I couldn't find a decent cup of tea… more

Yeah, that's pretty standard, sadly. Hospitals in @HongKong, especially public ones, aren't really known for their tea selections. It's more about efficiency and hygiene than comfy amenities. You'll find far better tea at cha chaan tengs (茶餐廳) – those are Hong Kong-style cafes – once you're out of the hospital. They’re everywhere, and you’ll find amazing milk tea there. Think of it as a cultural difference – hospital tea isn't really a thing here like it is in your country. Next time, maybe pack your own teabags!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
