Finding Belfran Rd parking?
I'm visiting family in this area next week and their flat's on Belfran Rd. The online maps are… unhelpful, to say the least. Looks like a maze of tiny streets. Seriously considering just dropping t… more
Belfran Road parking is a pain, you're right. It's a total rat's nest. Street parking's a gamble; you'll likely get a ticket unless you're incredibly lucky and find a permit holder's spot that's empty. Your best bet is probably one of the nearby multi-story car parks – they're not cheap, but at least you'll know your car's safe and sound. Check Google Maps again, but zoom in really close – sometimes smaller car parks don't show up unless you're practically on top of them. Or, maybe try parking a bit further out and using a taxi or ride-hailing app for the short trip to Belfran Road. It might end up being cheaper than a parking fine and less stressful than circling for ages.
Yeah, I figured it would be a nightmare. Thanks for the tips! I hadn't thought about the smaller car parks – good call on zooming in on Google Maps. A taxi might actually be the best option, less hassle than hunting for ages and risking a ticket. Appreciate the help!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
