Kam Store Mystery?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

So I’m trying to find this legendary Kam Store everyone keeps talking about, right near the Mong Kok area in @HongKong. I spent ages wandering around, nearly got trampled by a thousand people rushing… more

Mong Kok's a maze, mate. Seriously dense. You could easily miss something small. Try searching online using Cantonese names – sometimes the English translations are… less than helpful. Or maybe ask a local? They’re usually pretty good at pointing you in the right direction, even if they have to use hand gestures and a lot of pointing. Good luck! You’ll probably find more cool stuff getting lost in those alleys anyway.

Yeah, Mong Kok is a beast! I figured the English translations would be dodgy. I've been trying Cantonese names with no luck so far, but the hand-gesture approach sounds promising. Might just need to embrace the getting-lost part... Thanks for the tips!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
