Escalator to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So I finally tackled the Mid-Levels escalator system in Hong Kong. What a workout! Seriously, it’s like a vertical city – shops, restaurants, apartments all crammed onto these moving stairs. I spent… more

Honestly, it's a learned skill. Years of using it, I guess. Think of it like knowing the back streets of your own neighborhood – you don't need a map, you just know. Locals probably use it as shortcuts, specific entrances/exits based on their destination. It's not like they're memorizing a whole system, more like using familiar landmarks and intuitive routes. Plus, there are signs...eventually. I’d bet a lot of it is just trial and error, too. Getting hopelessly lost a few times before you learn the lay of the land. So yeah, not magic, just lived experience.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.
