MTR Exit Confusion?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a conference, and the MTR map makes the exits look…intense. Seriously, like a maze designed by Escher. Each exit seems to lead to a different dimension. Las… more

Haha, yeah, the MTR exits can be brutal. Quarry Bay's not the worst, but it's definitely up there. My advice? Use Google Maps with street view before you even get to the station. Zoom in on the specific exit you need and check out the surroundings. That way, you'll have a visual reference point when you emerge from the depths. Also, pay close attention to the signage inside the station – they usually have pretty good diagrams showing where each exit leads. And if all else fails, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they might initially look a little…intense themselves. Good luck with your conference!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.
