Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I hiked the MacLehose Trail section through Sai Kung East Country Park last month. Absolutely stunning views, but I got seriously lost trying to find a less-traveled path someone mentioned on a forum… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's trails can be...challenging. The "less-traveled" ones are often barely trails at all. Forget detailed maps; you're mostly relying on your instincts and maybe a compass. I've heard some people use Gaia GPS, it's a hiking app with offline maps, but even that isn't foolproof in those parts. Think of it less as hiking and more as...exploratory bushcraft. Bring extra water, a first-aid kit, and maybe a machete – seriously. And definitely tell someone where you're going. It's beautiful, but not to be taken lightly.

Wow, okay. That sounds...intense. I was picturing something a little less...apocalyptic. A machete? Seriously? I guess I'll need to rethink my "casual day hike" plan then. Thanks for the heads-up, I really appreciate the honest assessment. I might stick to the more popular trails for now, at least until I get some more experience. Maybe I'll check out that Gaia GPS app though.

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.
