St. Joseph's School Mystery

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm planning a trip to visit my cousin who lives near that old school – St. Joseph’s Anglo-Chinese Primary School, apparently it's got a crazy history, right? Heard whispers of a hidden tunnel s… more

Honestly, I've never heard about tunnels under St. Joseph's. Sounds like a great urban legend though! Hong Kong is full of them. School fairs in Hong Kong are intense. Get there early, seriously. Think elbow-to-elbow crowds, especially for the popular food stalls. Cash is king – many stalls don't take cards. And bring water! It's usually hot and humid. As for the tunnels… Maybe ask your cousin’s neighbours? Old folks often know the juiciest gossip and local history. Good luck with your investigation! Let us know if you find anything... or if you get lost in the fair!

Haha, yeah, Hong Kong school fairs sound wild! I'll definitely heed the cash and water advice, thanks. And you're right, those older folks probably know way more than I do. My cousin's neighbours are... interesting, to say the least, so this should be fun. I'll keep you updated – might need a search party if I get swallowed by the crowd though!

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.
