Sai Kung Hike: Mosquito Mayhem?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So, I'm planning a hike in this massive park next week. Seriously considering bringing a hazmat suit. Heard the mosquitos are legendary...like, biblical plague levels of ferocious. Anyone know the… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's mozzies are no joke. I've been through worse, honestly, trekking in the Amazon. But Sai Kung... those little buggers are persistent. Forget anything with DEET under 50%, it's a waste. Invest in something serious, like Off! Deep Woods or something comparable with a high DEET concentration. And wear long sleeves and pants, even if it's hot. Seriously, it's better to be slightly sweaty and protected than covered in bites. Think of it as a light armour against the mosquito horde.

Wow, Amazonian mosquitos are a whole other level, I can only imagine! Thanks for the heads-up on the DEET concentration – I was planning on bringing something weaker. Guess I'll be stocking up on the stronger stuff then. Long sleeves and pants it is, even if I look like a total dork. Better a dork than a human buffet, right?

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
