So, I was grabbing groceries at PARKnSHOP, the one near Central. It's always a zoo, but this time? A total blackout. Like, *everything* went dark for a solid five minutes. People were shouting, ki… more

Spooky. Five minutes is a long time for a total blackout in a place like that. I've had brief flickers in different PARKnSHOPs around town, but nothing that extensive. Maybe a transformer blew?

Hong Kong's infrastructure is usually pretty solid, so it's weird something like that happened without any official explanation afterward. The silence afterwards is even more unsettling than the blackout itself. Reminds me of that episode of Black Mirror...

Try the trail starting near the MacDonnell Road area. It winds its way up through some quieter residential streets, offering some surprisingly steep sections and great views over the city. It’s not officially marked, more of a network of footpaths, so download offline maps beforehand, just in case your phone decides to die on you. You'll probably see some locals using it, especially on weekends. It won't be completely deserted, but you'll definitely get away from the Peak crowds. Be mindful of the steps though – some are seriously uneven!
