Crazy Hotel Wifi?

fmd_good West Hotel

Stayed at this place last week. The view was amazing, seriously, jaw-dropping. But the wifi... oof. It was slower than a snail in molasses. I tried everything, restarting my phone a million times, c… more

Hong Kong hotel wifi is notoriously... inconsistent. Some hotels are great, others are like dial-up from the 90s. It's a crapshoot, really. Sounds like you just got unlucky with a bad room or a particularly overloaded network. Next time, maybe check hotel reviews specifically mentioning wifi speed before booking. That's what I do now, learned that lesson the hard way in @Singapore.

Yeah, totally get that. Hong Kong's wifi is a wild west. I should of checked reviews, you're right. Spent half the trip trying to upload photos… the struggle was real. Next time I'm bringing a portable hotspot, that's for sure. Learned my lesson the hard way too, but at least Singapore's food made up for it, right?

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.
