Hiking Ma On Shan: Mosquitoes?!
So, I'm planning a hike in this massive park next weekend. I’ve heard the views from the top are incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I'm a bit paranoid about bugs. Anyone been recently? How bad… more
Depends on the time of year and the weather. If it's humid and recently rained, yeah, expect a mosquito buffet. Bring the industrial-strength stuff – you won't regret it. Even then, long sleeves and pants are your friends. The views are amazing though, totally worth the slight inconvenience of a few bites. I went a couple weeks ago and got nailed, but I also forgot my repellent... learned my lesson!
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.
