Lost My Mind at Canaan

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a friend's graduation. Apparently, it's this HUGE sprawling campus, practically a maze! My friend keeps mentioning legendary shortcuts and hi… more

Yeah, Saint Too Canaan College is a proper labyrinth. My advice? Download the campus map before you go, even if your friend says it's useless. Use it as a general guide, not gospel. Ask your friend for specific landmark-based directions, like "meet me by the big oak tree near the library" instead of relying on building numbers. Also, carrying a portable charger is essential; you'll be using maps and stuff. And if all else fails, just ask someone. Most students are pretty used to lost tourists and will happily point you in the right direction. Good luck, you'll probably have a great time even if you get a little turned around!

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.
