fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month for work and my nephew attends St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I'm picking him up one afternoon and curious...what's the after-school scene like? Ar… more

Depends on the specific St. Joseph's location, but generally speaking, you'll see a mix. Some kids are picked up by private cars, definitely. But there's usually a decent amount of foot traffic too – parents, nannies, and the kids themselves heading to various buses or just walking home. Don't expect a massive chaotic scene like, say, a huge public school in a less affluent area, but it won't be completely deserted either. Your dim sum hopes are probably realistic; there are usually street food vendors hanging around near schools in that area. Think more "organized chaos" than a complete free-for-all. You'll probably see some adorable tiny uniforms though, that's a pretty safe bet.

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.
