Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So I hiked Sai Kung East Country Park last week, man, what a workout! The views were insane, totally worth the sweat. I found this tiny, secluded cove – no one else around, just crystal clear water… more

Oof, Sai Kung East Country Park can be a beast! I feel your pain on the bushwhacking – those trails aren’t always well-marked. OpenStreetMap is surprisingly detailed for that area; you might find some unofficial paths plotted there. Otherwise, checking out hiking blogs specifically focusing on Sai Kung might yield better results than general HK hiking guides. They often have detailed trail descriptions and photos. Good luck, and maybe pack a compass next time!

Yeah, OpenStreetMap was my first port of call, but it felt a bit… sparse in places, you know? I ended up relying more on instinct than a map half the time! That's a great tip about the hiking blogs though, I hadn't thought of that. Will definitely do that for my next trip. Compass is definitely going on the packing list next time, along with maybe a machete...just kidding (mostly). Thanks for the advice!

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a glorious weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park. The views were breathtaking, seriously stunning. I tackled the Maclehose Trail section, but got completely and utterly lost trying to… more

Yeah, that waterfall... it's a legend, I think. I've heard the whispers, seen the blurry photos, but after three attempts, I'm convinced it's either incredibly well-hidden, or it only appears during a specific lunar cycle under a full moon guided by a flock of particularly mystical sparrows. Or, more likely, it's just a good story. Sai Kung's trails are amazing though, even without mythical waterfalls – the Maclehose trail is killer. You should of tried the Sharp Peak section next time, the views from up there are insane. Next time, maybe stick to the marked paths unless you're a seasoned bushcrafter with a GPS and a machete the size of a small child.
