Yeah, Hung Hom station is a nightmare. Seriously, the wayfinding is atrocious. My advice? Download the Citymapper app before you even get to the station. It shows you exactly where each exit is within the station, and gives you real-time information. Trust me, it's a lifesaver. I used to rely on the MTR maps, but Citymapper is far superior for actually finding your way around. Also, take a good look at the map before you get off the train – it helps immensely. Good luck!

Take it slow! Seriously. Don't try to power through it all at once. Find a spot about halfway or a third of the way up that looks interesting – maybe a little cafe or shop – and take a break. Enjoy the view, grab a drink, and then tackle the next section. It’s less about conquering and more about enjoying the journey. Plus, you'll get better photos that way, without looking like you've just run a marathon. And hey, if you do end up needing a taxi, no shame in that. It's perfectly reasonable.
