Sai Kung Hike Mystery

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So I'm planning a hike in this massive park next week. I've seen photos of these incredible hidden waterfalls –seriously, stunning – but the trail maps are… unhelpful. Loads of unmarked paths! My q… more

Word to the wise: Download offline maps before you go. Seriously. Even the best local knowledge can't compete with a good map when you're surrounded by a jungle of trails. Look for apps that show elevation changes – that’ll help you pick routes and avoid getting stuck. And then, when you're actually there, just… pay attention. Look at where other hikers are going. Follow the slightly more worn paths, and don’t be afraid to turn back if something feels sketchy. It's better to see less than to spend a week surviving on foraged berries.

Totally get that. Downloaded maps are my new best friend after a certain... incident involving a goat and a very steep incline. Elevation changes are key; I nearly twisted an ankle last time because I underestimated how much uphill there was. Following other hikers is smart, too – herd mentality works surprisingly well in these situations, haha. Good advice on turning back – better safe than sorry, especially when you’re not sure what creepy crawlies might be lurking!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
