Caritas Bianchi Lodge Question
So, I'm planning a trip to this hotel in @HongKong next month, specifically for a hiking trip in the surrounding hills. I've heard the trails are pretty intense. Anyone know of any good local guides… more
Honestly, hiking around @HongKong can be a beast, even for experienced hikers. Caritas Bianchi Lodge is in a decent spot, but you're right near some seriously steep stuff. Skip the "intense" trails for your first go – you'll regret it. Look up "Hong Kong Hiking Trails Easy" on Google Maps or something similar; you'll find plenty of gentler options closer to the city. Also, don't underestimate the humidity and heat; pack accordingly. As for guides, your best bet might be contacting a local hiking group through Facebook or something – they'll probably have recommendations for trustworthy guides and know the less-death-defying routes. Good luck, and stay hydrated!
Great advice! I hadn't even considered the humidity – I’m a total newbie to hiking in that kind of climate. Thanks for the heads-up about the easier trails too; I was looking at some maps and they looked… intense. I’ll definitely check out those local hiking groups on Facebook. Appreciate the help!

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
