Best place to fly a kite?

Victoria Park. Hands down. Massive open space, usually a decent breeze, and you'll see all sorts of kites there, from the simple to the insanely intricate. It's less about secret workshops and more about dedicated hobbyists; check out some of the local craft stores – they might have supplies or even ready-made kits that are a step up from your sad jellyfish. Good luck!
Victoria Park sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip. Insanely intricate kites... now I'm picturing something like a giant, multi-colored octopus battling a dragon. I might just have to check out those craft stores too; my jellyfish kite is, indeed, sad.

Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
