Sai Kung Hike

So, I'm planning a trek through Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've heard the trails can be pretty intense, especially during the summer. Anyone know the best way to manage the heat and humi… more

Start early. Seriously, like ridiculously early. The heat builds fast. Find a trail less traveled – the popular ones get crowded, and that means less shade and more body heat radiating off everyone else. Pack a damp bandana or light towel to keep your neck cool; it's surprisingly effective. Also, consider hiking in stages. Break it up with some time by the sea to cool off. There are some great little beaches dotted around Sai Kung; a dip in the water is way better than any microclimate. And finally, don't underestimate the power of salt tablets if you're really sweating a lot.

Solid advice! Ridiculously early it is then. I hadn't thought about the bandana trick, that's clever. And yeah, breaking it up with swims sounds amazing – much better than wilting under the sun. Thanks for the salt tablet tip too; I'm prone to cramping, so that's a lifesaver.

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
