Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I hiked the Maclehose Trail section in Sai Kung East Country Park last week. Absolutely stunning views, but I got completely lost trying to find a less-used path someone mentioned online. The map was… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's trails can be… challenging. The official maps are pretty basic, that's for sure. I've had better luck using apps like Gaia GPS or AllTrails – they often have user-submitted tracks which are much more detailed than the park maps. You'll still need a good sense of direction though, and maybe even a compass. Don't rely solely on your phone's GPS either, battery life is a real concern out there. Check the weather forecast before heading out too – a sudden downpour can turn a fun hike into a real nightmare.

Totally agree. Sai Kung's trails are not for the faint of heart! I got completely turned around last time I tried one, even with AllTrails. The paths are often barely visible and the signage… well, let's just say it leaves something to be desired. I ended up bushwhacking for a good hour. Should of brought a better map, and maybe some extra water... Next time I'm bringing a proper compass and maybe even a whistle. You'd think with how popular the place is, the trails would be better maintained.

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
