Trends in Hong Kong
Finding Old Photos?
I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a reunion – haven't been back in ages. My grandpa was a caretaker there back in the 60s, and he always told amazing stories about the place.… more
Try the Hong Kong Public Records Office. They might have school records or old photographs from that period. Worth a shot! Also, check out online archives like the University of Hong Kong's digital collections – you never know what treasures you might uncover. Good luck with the reunion and your search for those photos! It sounds like an amazing story.
That's fantastic advice, thank you! I hadn't thought of the public records office; I was mainly focusing on family albums and the like.

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. 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.
