Glass Elevator Views?

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near the ICC. I'm terrified of heights, but the photos of the views from the sky100 observation deck are incredible... So, my question is: are there any… more

Check out the bars and restaurants in the IFC mall. They're not quite as high as sky100, but many have floor-to-ceiling windows offering amazing harbor views. Plus, you're probably gonna find something that fits your budget better than a dedicated observation deck. The ambience might be a bit more relaxed than a tourist trap, too. Happy travels!

That's a great suggestion! IFC mall sounds perfect, I hadn't thought of that. Floor-to-ceiling windows are way better than just a small viewing platform, especially if I can grab a drink while enjoying the view. Thanks!

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.

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.
