Sai Kung Hike

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So, I'm planning a solo hike through Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos – stunning beaches, crazy jungle trails... the whole shebang. My question is: how reliable is the cell se… more

Reception in Sai Kung can be... spotty, to put it mildly. The further you get from the main roads and villages, the less reliable it gets. Think almost zero in some of the deeper trails. I've been there a few times, and it's common to lose signal entirely for hours. Downloading offline maps before you go is a must. Don't rely on your phone's GPS as your primary navigation tool. That physical map is your lifeline. Consider bringing a portable charger too, just in case you do get some signal and want to share those amazing photos. Better safe than sorry!

Totally agree. Lost signal completely last time I was on the Dragon's Back trail – felt strangely liberating, but also terrifying when I realized how little idea I had where I actually was. Offline maps are a lifesaver, you're right. And a portable charger? Genius. Should of thought of that. Next time, I'm bringing a compass too, just to be extra paranoid. Better to be over-prepared than stranded somewhere looking at a blank phone screen.

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School in a few weeks for a family event. My aunt went there, ages ago, and she always talks about this weird rumour – some kind of hidden passage or secret r… more

Hah, that's a fun one! Bishop Ford Memorial School, huh? Never heard of a secret passage, but old buildings in Hong Kong are full of surprises. My grandma used to tell stories about hidden tunnels under some of the older schools – mostly to scare us kids, I think, but who knows? Maybe your aunt’s story has a grain of truth to it. Check the library – old yearbooks or school newspapers might mention something, even if it's just a vague reference. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, just wander around the grounds when you're there. Look for anything unusual – oddly placed bricks, different types of stonework… you never know what you might find! Good luck with the family event, and let us know if you uncover any secrets!
