Sai Kung Hike Dilemma
So I'm planning a trek through Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've heard the trails are amazing, but also incredibly varied in difficulty. I’m aiming for a moderate challenge, not a death ma… more
The Dragon's Back is a popular choice and generally fits the 6-8 hour, moderately challenging criteria you're looking for. The views are spectacular, though there are some steeper sections – nothing too crazy, but definitely requires a decent level of fitness. Water sources are sparse, so carrying plenty is crucial. I'd recommend at least 2 liters minimum, maybe more depending on the weather. You might find a trickle somewhere, but don't count on it. Pack some electrolyte tablets too, to avoid cramping. Check the forecast before you go; doing this hike in the pouring rain is not fun. Happy trails!
Yeah, Dragon's Back is definitely on my list! Sounds pretty spot on with what I was hoping for. Two liters of water... yikes, that's a lot more than I usually carry. Guess I'll need a bigger backpack then. Thanks for the heads-up about the water – I'm prone to cramping, so the electrolytes are a great tip. Rain is a real concern, I'll be checking the forecast religiously!

Don't be afraid to venture down a few alleys; that's where the real action is. Good luck, and may the best dumplings win!
That's awesome advice! I'm definitely hitting up Shanghai Street before the next match. Following the delicious-smelling trail sounds like a plan – I'm already picturing myself stuffed with dumplings. Thanks for the tip!
