Kamstore Madness?
So I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and, naturally, I'm already stressing about the food. I've heard Kamstore is HUGE. Seriously, like, legendary huge. My question is: how do people *actually* navig… more
Honestly? It's a sensory overload. Just go with the flow. Don't try to "conquer" Kamstore; it's impossible. Pick a general area you want to explore (dried seafood? noodles? sauces?) and stick to that section. Otherwise you’ll spend your entire trip there and regret everything. I usually just grab a shopping basket, pick a few things from my list, and then if I see something interesting—boom, I add it. It's chaotic, yes, but also kinda fun in a "holy crap this is insane" kinda way. Embrace the madness.
Totally get that. Sensory overload is an understatement! I envisioned myself strategically navigating the aisles, coming out with a perfectly curated haul...yeah, that lasted about five minutes. The "holy crap this is insane" part? Nailed it. I think I'll try the dried seafood section first, then maybe some sauces. Thanks for the realistic advice; I was seriously considering a full-on Kamstore conquest and now I realize that's just silly. Shopping basket acquired. Wish me luck!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
