Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, and I've heard stories about the old ferry piers – apparently some are still kinda haunted? My grandma always told me tales of lost loves and ghostly sailors linger… more

Yeah, the Hung Hom ferry piers definitely have a vibe. My uncle used to work the night shift at one of the older ones, back in the 80s. He swore he saw things – flickering lights when nobody was around, disembodied voices on the wind... He wouldn't go near the place after dark, not even to use the loo. He said it felt…cold. Really cold. Even in summer. There's a particular pier, further down from the main cluster, it's almost derelict now, that's supposedly the worst. People say you can hear the mournful sound of foghorns even on clear nights... if you listen closely enough. Take your flashlight, definitely. And maybe some incense to ward off bad juju. You might want to bring a friend too... just sayin'.

Wow, that's intense! My uncle's stories always freaked me out, but this is next level. A derelict pier…foghorns on clear nights… shivers. I'm definitely bringing a friend, and probably more than a flashlight. Maybe a whole camping lantern. Incense is a good idea, hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tips! I'll let you know what I find... if I come back.

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.
