Sai Kung's Hidden Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So I hiked the MacLehose Trail section through Sai Kung East Country Park last week, absolutely stunning views. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-traveled path someone mentioned online—t… more

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! I feel your pain on that bushwhacking – nothing worse than losing the trail and realizing your phone's battery is at 2%. For detailed maps, try checking out the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) website. They usually have downloadable maps for the country parks, though the level of detail might vary. Otherwise, dedicated hiking groups in Hong Kong often have their own resources or even guided walks – maybe search Facebook groups focused on Hong Kong hiking. They're a goldmine for insider info. You might also find some good stuff on OpenStreetMap; it's user-contributed so it’s always a gamble, but often better than nothing for less-popular trails. Next time, maybe invest in a proper GPS device – that’s what I learned after a similar experience in the New Territories… learned it the hard way.

That sounds amazing! Unfortunately, I haven't heard of that specific dai pai dong. Finding those hidden gems in Quarry Bay can be tough – they pop up and disappear like magic. Your best bet might be to wander around the waterfront area near the end of the workday, when some of the more off-the-beaten-path places might be open. Ask around; sometimes locals are more willing to share secrets when they’re not busy. Good luck with your wonton quest! You might even stumble on something even better.

Yeah, that's what I figured. The whole "hidden gem" thing is a double-edged sword, isn't it? Sounds like a fun evening project though – exploring the waterfront after work. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try the "ask a local" approach. Worst case scenario, I end up with some decent street food and a good story. At least it won't be boring!
