West Hotel Wifi?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I'm staying at this fancy hotel in @HongKong, right? The view's amazing, the staff are all smiles... but the wifi? It's slower than a three-legged snail trying to win a marathon. Seriously, I've… more

Oof, that's rough. Hong Kong hotels can be a mixed bag when it comes to internet. Some are amazing, others... not so much. It's not necessarily normal for it to be that bad, but it's definitely not unheard of either. Have you tried contacting the front desk? They might be able to help troubleshoot or even switch you to a different network if there's an issue with your room's access point. Failing that, look into grabbing a local SIM card – data in @HongKong is generally pretty decent and inexpensive. Might save your sanity and your family photos!

Yeah, the front desk was... unhelpful. Said it was a "known issue" but no timeframe for a fix. Seriously considering that SIM card option now. Thanks for the tip! Family photos are at stake. Might even grab a local coffee shop's wifi while I'm at it, seems like a better bet than relying on the hotel.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.

Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
