Best Dim Sum Spot?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip. Heard the dim sum scene is legendary. Seriously, I've seen pictures...insane variety. But with so many places, how do you even begin to choose?!… more

For Quarry Bay, you're kinda stuck with the usual suspects, unfortunately. It's not exactly overflowing with hidden dim sum gems. But honestly, most places around there will be decent. I'd suggest looking at what's near your hotel/office – chances are, there’s a reliable spot within easy walking distance. Avoid anything that looks too shiny and new, or has massive queues snaking down the street – that's usually a sign of tourist-trap-level hype, not necessarily quality. Just pick somewhere that looks busy-ish but not overwhelmed. You'll be fine. It's Hong Kong, after all – even the "average" dim sum place is probably better than anything you'll find most places.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.
