Trends in Hong Kong
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
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.
Shue Yan's Hidden Eats?
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty cool, but all the info online is about the buildings. Anyone know the best spots for cheap, tasty eats… more
Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're usually tucked away on side streets, but the food is killer and super cheap. Forget the menus – just point and order. You'll find some amazing stuff that way. Also, wander down towards the residential areas nearby; you'll find loads of local eateries the students use. Trust me, avoiding the main streets is key to finding the real Hong Kong flavor. Prepare for some seriously delicious and affordable meals.
That's awesome advice! Thanks. I'm definitely going to try that "point and order" approach – sounds like an adventure. I'm heading there next week, so I'll be sure to explore those side streets and residential areas. Super excited to get some authentic Hong Kong food – cheap and delicious is my kinda meal!
