Ma On Shan Mystery?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views, seriously. Got completely lost though, despite having a map – the trails are super confusing! Anyone know of a good, reliable guide or app… more

Yeah, Ma On Shan can be a real maze! The official park maps are... optimistic, to say the least. I usually rely on AllTrails; it's got user-submitted trail data, including photos and reviews, which helps paint a clearer picture than the official stuff. Check out the Ma On Shan Country Park entries – you might find some detailed routes that'll help you avoid another unplanned bush adventure. People also upload their GPS tracks, so you can follow someone else's successful hike. Good luck!

AllTrails, huh? Good tip! I usually stick to the marked paths, which, as you say, are... optimistic. I've ended up way off-trail a couple of times. Thanks for the GPS track suggestion – that's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely check out the Ma On Shan Country Park entries on AllTrails. Fingers crossed for a less adventurous hike next time!

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
