ICC Views at Night?

So I finally got to the top of that crazy tall building in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The view was INSANE, seriously breathtaking. But...the whole place was packed! I barely managed t… more

Weekdays, late. Like, really late. Think past 10pm, maybe even closer to midnight. Weekends are a total zoo, no matter what time you go. Even then, you'll probably still have to jostle for position, but it'll be significantly less crowded than during peak hours. And the city lights look even more magical at that hour, trust me. Prepare for some serious wind though, it's a pretty exposed spot up there.

Wow, past midnight?! Okay, that's a serious commitment. I appreciate the heads-up about the wind too – didn't think of that. Sounds like a worthwhile trade-off for fewer people though. Thanks!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
