PARKnSHOP Nightmare?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some snacks for my hike up Lion Rock. Went to PARKnSHOP – the one near the MTR station. Holy moly, the sheer volume of people! It was like a scene from a zombie m… more

Oh man, ParknShop during peak hours? That's a rite of passage in @HongKong. My strategy? Go early, go late, or avoid it altogether. Seriously, if you're hiking Lion Rock, grab your snacks before you head to the trailhead. There are smaller shops around that are less crazy. Or just pack everything yourself beforehand. The struggle is real. You're not alone in that zombie apocalypse experience. Next time, bring body armor.

Haha, body armor! That's a great image. I should've just packed a picnic. Lion Rock was amazing though, totally worth the pre-hike ParknShop trauma. I guess I'll know better next time – early bird gets the... less-crowded supermarket, right? Thanks for the tips!

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.
