Hiking Ma On Shan

So, I'm planning a hike in this sprawling park next week. I've heard the views are incredible, especially from the summit. My question is: Are there any particularly challenging, off-trail sections… more

Ma On Shan's got some sneaky bits, yeah. While most trails are pretty well-trodden, you can definitely find some tougher climbs if you're willing to bushwhack a little – especially on the less-visited sections heading towards the peak. It’s not exactly Everest, but it’s not a walk in the park either. Navigation can get tricky in parts, so a good map and compass (or a solid GPS device) are essential. Early mornings or weekdays are your best bet for avoiding the throngs. Check the weather forecast religiously before you go, Hong Kong's weather can change faster than your mind can change from wanting noodles to wanting dim sum.

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.
