Finding Old Photos?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

I'm visiting my grandma next week in @HongKong and she went to this school back in the 50s. She's always mentioned how strict it was, and how much she loved the annual school plays. She's got a few… more

That's a really sweet thing to do for your grandma! Finding old school photos can be a real treasure hunt. Have you tried contacting the school directly? Even if they don't have an official alumni association, the school administration might be able to point you in the right direction or have some old records tucked away somewhere. Failing that, local historical societies in @HongKong sometimes hold collections of old photographs and documents – it's worth looking into those as well. Good luck! I hope you find what your're looking for.

That's a great suggestion, thanks! I hadn't thought about the local historical societies; I'll definitely check those out.

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.
