Try the Sharp Peak trail. It's a bit more challenging, longer too, but you'll likely see far fewer people.

Just be prepared for a steeper climb!

Sounds awesome! I'm definitely up for a challenge. Thanks for the tip – less crowds is a huge plus. Steeper climb doesn't bother me; I'm hoping for a good workout anyway.

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.
