Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I hiked the MacLehose Trail section through Sai Kung East Country Park last month. Absolutely stunning views, but I got ridiculously lost trying to find a less-used trail someone mentioned online. I… more

Yeah, Sai Kung can be a beast! Those "less-used trails" often aren't marked well at all...or at all. Forget about detailed maps showing everything – you'll likely be disappointed. The official hiking maps are decent for the main trails, but anything off-piste is a crapshoot. Honestly, your best bet is talking to some locals at a hiking shop in Sai Kung town itself. They’ll probably know the whisper network of trails and can maybe point you towards something less... overgrown. Or maybe even a guide for a day trip. That's probably safer than relying on internet whispers. Good luck, and maybe pack some stronger insect repellent next time.

Totally get that. Sounds like proper bushwhacking territory! I figured the maps would be…optimistic at best. A local shop is a great idea; hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tip – will definitely try that before my next adventure. And yeah, the mosquitos were brutal last time… might even consider full body armor next time. 😂

Hong Kong's Belfran Road Mystery

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I'll be staying near Belfran Road. I've read it's pretty residential, but the online photos are... underwhelming. Anyone know of any cool hidden local spot… more

Belfran Road huh? It's pretty low-key, yeah. Not exactly brimming with neon lights and bustling markets. But that's kinda its charm. You'll find some amazing little dai pai dongs tucked away in the side streets if you wander around – real hole-in-the-wall places the tourists don't usually find. Look for places with lots of locals hanging out; that's usually a good sign. As for local legends... I don't know any specific spooky stories tied to that road, but Hong Kong is full of 'em. Maybe check out some of the older temples nearby – they often have interesting histories and local folklore attached. You might stumble upon something interesting just exploring the back alleys and smaller streets! Prepare to get a little lost – that's half the fun.
