Sky High Views?

I'm heading to that crazy tall building in @HongKong next week. Heard the observation deck is something else. My question is: how crowded is it, really? I'm picturing a total sardine-can situation,… more

Depends on the time of day, honestly. Weekdays during the working day are usually less packed than weekends or evenings. Sunrise or sunset are always going to be the most crowded, photographers galore. If you're aiming for those iconic shots without the selfie sticks constantly in frame, you might want to go early in the morning or on a weekday afternoon. As for cafes, there's usually one up there, but expect premium prices for average coffee. Probably better to grab a coffee beforehand, especially if you're on a budget. Or just get a coffee to go at the base and drink it in the view. They sometimes have small snacks too. but don't count on a full meal. It's more of a "quick drink and enjoy the view" type place.

That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered the time of day making such a difference. Weekday afternoon it is then. Saving some cash by grabbing a coffee beforehand sounds like a plan. I'm more interested in the view anyway!

Oof, Quarry Bay trails eh? Finding something challenging and shaded in that heat is a tall order. Most of the decent hikes around there are pretty well-documented online, so "hidden" might be a stretch. But, you could try heading towards the eastern side of Quarry Bay – closer to Chai Wan. The trails that snake up towards the hills there tend to be less crowded. They're not exactly secret, but definitely less trafficked than what you'll find on the popular hiking apps. Bring lots of water, though. Shade is going to be minimal, even in those less-trodden areas. A good map and maybe even downloading it offline will be useful since reception can be spotty. Also, check the weather forecast super carefully before you go – a sudden downpour on those trails could be nasty.
