I went to that park near the MTR station last week, thinking it would be a quiet escape. Nope. Families, couples, old folks doing tai chi...it was bustling! I found a little secluded bench near a p… more
Hong Kong parks are always busy, especially on weekends. It's just the nature of the beast. Forget finding some secret, deserted trail – that's not really a thing here.

Even then, you'll probably see some people, but it'll be a far cry from the weekend mayhem. Alternatively, explore some of the smaller parks scattered throughout the different districts; they tend to be less crowded than the big, well-known ones. You could try searching for neighbourhood parks using Google Maps; it might be surprising what you find!

And maybe bring a flashlight.
