Sai Kung Hike: Mosquitoes?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a glorious day hiking the trails in Sai Kung East Country Park last week. The views were absolutely stunning, especially from that one lookout point overlooking the coastline. Seriously breat… more

Yeah, Sai Kung mosquitoes are legendary. Seriously brutal. I've found that DEET-based repellents with a high percentage (like 30% or higher) are the only things that offer any decent protection. Even then, you'll probably still get a few bites. Long sleeves and pants are your friend, too, even on a hot day. Consider those mosquito coils – the spiral kind you can light – they help create a small zone of repellent around you. Might sound like overkill, but trust me, it's worth it.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up! 30% DEET... I usually just use that lemon eucalyptus stuff, clearly not cutting it in Sai Kung. I'll definitely be stocking up on the heavy-duty stuff and planning on looking like a Michelin Man. Those coils are a good idea too, hadn't thought of that. Appreciate the advice!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
