Escalator to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week. Heard about the insane escalator system – it's like a vertical city, right? Anyone know the best spots to grab some street food along the way? I'm pictur… more

Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalator system is pretty wild! It's not just one escalator, it's a whole network, covering around 800 meters – so you'll be doing a LOT of uphill travel. Street food-wise, you'll find tons of great stuff along the way; it's a bit of a treasure hunt, honestly. Don't expect it to all be perfectly lined up, it’s very organically scattered. Keep your eyes peeled for little stalls and hole-in-the-wall places – that's where the best stuff usually is. For views, head towards the top near Conduit Road; lots of rooftop bars and restaurants up there with stunning Victoria Harbour views. Prepare for some serious walking though even after conquering all those escalators. It'll be a memorable day, that's for sure. Bring comfy shoes!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.
