Sai Kung Hiking Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I went hiking in this massive park last week, man, it was insane. The trails were super varied, some easy peasy, others... not so much. I got completely lost for like, two hours, following what I t… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's trails are legendary for being... well, legendary in their lack of clear signage. I've been there loads of times and you're not alone in the whole "goat track" experience. There isn't one single, definitive map that covers everything. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure kind of situation. Lots of unofficial paths sprout up, disappear, and then reappear later. OpenStreetMap is probably your best bet for a general overview, but even that's not completely up-to-date. Prepare to improvise, embrace the uncertainty, and maybe download a offline map app before you go. It'll save you some stress, even if it doesn't completely eliminate the chance of meeting some unexpected goats.

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
