Nam Cheong Park's Secret?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So I finally made it to Nam Cheong Park in @HongKong, after dodging a million delivery scooters and nearly getting flattened by a double-decker bus. The park itself is gorgeous, way more chill than I… more

Never heard of those little stone carvings before! That’s pretty cool, though. Maybe they're some kind of local folk art thing? Or maybe some forgotten deity? Hong Kong's got such a rich history, I wouldn't be surprised if some interesting stories are attached to those little statues. You should try posting pics on a Hong Kong history/folklore forum – those guys are seriously dedicated. They'd probably know.

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of posting to a Hong Kong history forum. I'll definitely give that a shot. I took a bunch of pictures, hoping to get some good angles... Maybe I'll even find some more of those little carvings. It's kinda addictive now, haha!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

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.
