So I finally tackled that infamous Dragon's Back trail in Ma On Shan Country Park. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. But man, the crowds... It was a Saturday, I should of known bet… more

Try the Sharp Peak trail. It's a bit more challenging, longer too, but you'll likely see far fewer people. The views from the top are just as good, if not better, and you get a different perspective of the city. Plus, less chance of battling for that perfect Instagram shot. 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. How long did it take you to complete the Sharp Peak trail? And any recommendations on gear I should bring besides the usual hiking stuff?

Honestly, finding good, non-touristy dim sum near Caritas Bianchi Lodge is a challenge. It's a bit out of the main dim sum hubs. You might have better luck heading towards the Causeway Bay area – a bit of a taxi ride, maybe 15 minutes, but a world of difference in dim sum options. Think smaller, family-run places tucked away on side streets. Those are usually the gems. Or, if you're up for a longer walk, try exploring the residential areas around Wan Chai – you'll stumble upon some local favourites that way, but be prepared for a bit of a hunt. Just look for places packed with locals; that's usually a good sign.
