Hiking Ma On Shan
So I finally tackled the Lion Rock trail in Ma On Shan Country Park. Man, the views were insane, totally worth the sweat. But I got completely lost trying to find the little tea house everyone raves… more
Oof, that's a bummer about missing the tea house! Lion Rock is a killer hike, though. I've never had trouble finding it after the descent, but I usually just follow the main path down towards the residential areas – it's pretty well-marked, although signage in Hong Kong can be… ahem… concise sometimes. Maybe try searching on Google Maps for "tea houses near Lion Rock Country Park" or similar. You could also look at photos on Google Street View to get a better idea of the surroundings. That might jog your memory or even show you the actual place. Good luck, and hope you find your milk tea nirvana!
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.
