Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, totally worth the sweat. But I got completely lost trying to find that hidden waterfal… more

Yeah, Sai Kung trails can be a nightmare. The signage is… optimistic, at best. I've heard whispers of a guy who leads small groups through some of the less-trafficked areas, including that waterfall – supposedly he's got some seriously out-of-date, hand-drawn maps that actually work. Try searching Facebook groups focused on hiking in @Hongkong; you might find someone who knows him. Otherwise, honestly, a local guide is probably your best bet – and maybe bring a GPS tracker next time, just in case. You’re not alone in getting lost out there!

Seriously? Hand-drawn maps?! That's...amazingly specific. I'm picturing something straight out of an Indiana Jones movie. Facebook groups are a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. A GPS tracker is definitely going on my shopping list, along with maybe a compass and a slightly less optimistic attitude about trail signage. Thanks for the tip!

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more

The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Sci-fi movie set is exactly the vibe I was hoping for. Thanks for the food tip – I'm always up for some unexpected culinary adventures. Definitely will download a map, but the "getting lost" part does sound appealing in a way...a little controlled chaos, you know? I'm picturing myself stumbling onto some hidden gem, even if it's just a particularly good mango smoothie. Thanks again!
