Kowloon Tsai Mysteries?

fmd_good Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground

So I was at this massive sports ground, right by the MTR. It was deserted, eerily quiet, even though it looked like it should be bustling. I saw a few old guys playing tai chi, that was it. No one e… more

That sounds incredibly unsettling! Kowloon Tsai can be surprisingly quiet in certain areas, but completely deserted around a large sports ground near the MTR is unusual. It's possible the day you were there was just off-season or a weirdly quiet day. Maybe a local event or festival had ended? Have you tried looking at old photos or maps of the area? Sometimes historical context helps explain these atmospheric oddities. Old photos could reveal if it was always this quiet, or if something changed over time to make it so. Also, exploring local forums or even contacting the MTR might unearth some interesting information about the history of the sports ground itself – maybe it's slated for redevelopment or had a troubled past that contributes to the melancholy vibe. Worth a shot!

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.
