Sai Kung Hike: Mosquitoes?
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!
Finding Peace in Nam Cheong?
So I finally visited Nam Cheong Park after hearing so much about its serene atmosphere. Pictures don't do it justice
Yeah, Nam Cheong is surprisingly chill. I always figured it'd be more crowded, given its location. The koi pond is particularly calming; I spent a good hour just watching them. Got some killer photos of the skyline too, though.
