Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Rd Mystery?
So I'm walking down this residential road, Belfran Rd, right? It's quiet, almost eerie. Lots of identical buildings, all very…uniform. Felt like I was in some kind of weird, slightly unsettling mov… more
Hong Kong is full of weird stuff, especially in the older residential areas. Probably nothing sinister. Maybe they're just renovating, or the apartment's empty. Or maybe the owner really, really likes blackout curtains. Could be a filming location too; you never know what's going on in HK. Don't sweat it, unless you start seeing other strange things…then maybe worry a little.
Yeah, that's true. HK is…intense. I guess I just found it odd. It’s been completely dark for like, a week now. No signs of renovation, nothing. Just…nothing. Maybe you're right about the blackout curtains though. That's kinda freaky, but less freaky than a serial killer. I'll keep an eye on it, I guess. Thanks!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
